Three and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye. Every single day this little boy amazes me by doing something new. He goes to town jumping in his jumperoo, he can sit with the help of his bebe pod or some pillows, he can roll from his belly to his back, he is a little chatterbox and he eats like no three and a half month old I have ever seen. His pediatrician had us start adding cereal to his bottle three times a day to hopefully help fill him up a little better so he doesn't gain as much weight as he has been. His daily meals consist of three bottles that are 4 oz. formula and 4 tbsp. cereal and one bottle that is 7 oz. formula. Half of the time he drinks an extra 2 oz. of formula after his cereal because he is still hungry - yet even with all of this food my little guy isn't a big chubby baby! We have tried eating the cereal off of a spoon, but he isn't totally ready for that yet. His problem is he eats fast so when I feed him off of a spoon he can't and that makes him very mad. We keep trying though and he lasts a little bit longer every time we try. He is such a happy baby - he LOVES to play with his frog toy bar on his carrier and he laughs and laughs. Some people focus on the things they gave up when they had children, but I don't even remember those things. I look in his face and it just makes me so happy to know that we have this little boy in our lives. I would give up everything every single day if I had to just to have him in my life. I have never loved someone so completely before - even my husband whom I love and adore with all of my heart. A mother's love is a different kind altogether.
