Isaac ~ 3 Months

Isaac is now 3 months old and he's growing and learning each and every day. It truly is amazing to watch. I was reading about Leah when she was 3 months and she and Isaac were pretty much on the same page at this age. I love going back and reading to compare their similarities and differences :).

~ He is such a happy baby! He showers us with that beautiful smile of his all of the time...and we can't get enough of it.
~ He is extremely alert. He is very aware of me and the moment that I set him down and walk out of the room, he bursts into tears. The tears stream down his face...it is the saddest thing in the world. So...because of this, I rarely ever leave him alone because I can't bear to hear him cry. It breaks my heart.
~ He is SO spoiled...he is held pretty much all of the time. And, honestly, I don't mind one bit carrying him around all day. If he is happiest in my arms, then that is where he'll be :). I've realized that these moments don't last very long, so I'm cherishing every precious moment that he wants to snuggle with me. He also takes his afternoon naps in my arms. Yes, he totally has me wrapped around his little finger :).
~ He sleeps through the night. Enough said.
~ He is getting more and more chunky every day. I just love all of his cute little rolls.
~ He gets a little nervous when Noah and Leah come around him, and I don't really blame him. He's been bonked by them a few times...nothing too bad, but enough to make him not want them around when they are being all rough and stuff. This is probably another reason that I tend to hold him more...someone needs to protect him from that 2 and 4 year old! They're CRAZY!
~ He absolutely hates his carseat. We just drove back from a trip to Lake Powell and he cried almost the entire time! We pulled over so many times to comfort him because that cry of his is so, so, SO sad! Doug and I felt so badly when we had to put him back in his seat, because the minute that we did, he just started to cry again. It's a good thing I pretty much stay home because I can't bare listening to him.
~ He's starting to giggle a lot, and his giggles are accompanied by the cutest little belly laugh. I love it!
~ He is a major drooler. This only started a few weeks ago, but I have to say that his drooling is getting out of control. The kid's a faucet! I had to start putting bibs on him because he was drenching his clothes with drool. He takes after Noah because he was the exact same way.
~ He keeps me grounded during the days. My days have been pretty crazy lately with Noah and Leah, and having him be so calm has calmed me down. I'm very grateful for that!
~ Noah and Leah adore him. Even though they are not the softest to him, which is something we're working on, they really love Isaac so much. They give him hugs and kisses all of the time, and I know that they love him so much. I'm so grateful that all of my children love each other the way that they do...makes me happy :).

It's true...we love this little guy! We simply can't get enough of him!

He's seriously a faucet...the drool doesn't stop!
