Sam at 3 months

Today my beautiful baby boy turned 3 months old. Sam has been nothing but a joy over the last 3 months and has been a wonderful addition to our family. It's amazing to watch him grow from a little newborn into a big baby boy (literally big, we love his rolls). Sam is such a sweet baby and he frequently reminds me of an old soul. The best word to describe Sam is happy! He loves nothing more than to look you straight in the eye, flash you a huge smile and start cooing away. Many have stated that Sam always looks like he has some big story to tell you, already like his mommy, ha ha. We are not sure his exact size because our next pediatrician appointment isn't for another month, but I can tell you he eats well and is growing like a weed. Here are some fun 3 month old facts about Sam:

Sam takes around 5 ounces of milk every 3 hours, except at night where he sleeps around 9 straight hours (he is doing pretty well in that area, thank goodness).
Does not like to be rocked or cradled like a baby (puts himself to sleep, yay).
When on his tummy, can lift entire head up and can bear full weight on his legs.
Loves to smile, coo and giggle (giggling for some reason gives him hiccups, kind of funny).
Sam still loves his swing and spends a lot of time in there. Not a fan of Bumbo seat.
Still gets a little fussy in the late afternoons when overstimulated. Decreasing though.
Overall a very laid back, happy and healthy baby. We are so blessed!

I miss him so much and his baby smell! :) Can't wait to get my hands on him in 2 weeks and watch Andrew, Lucas and Joshua play!
