FOUR MONTHS OLD

sailor rhodes turned four months old yesterday. he is all hands in mouth these days with lots of drool and coos and ahhs. his two bottom teeth are close to surfacing which is causing him to be uncomfortable at times, but for the most part he is in good spirits. he smiles big with both his mouth and his eyes. my favorite thing is when he is nursing in my lap and i notice that he has stopped, or paused for a while, i look down at him and he is looking up at me with a huge smile on his face. i can't begin to describe what that does to me. i am so in love with my boy.

he loves to be held. in fact he prefers to be held most of the time, so he is in my arms much of the day or in one of our baby carriers. he is starting to grab for things, mainly the red heart tattoo on my wrist. he also likes to pull on clothes and hair and papa's beard. he loves his tummy time and can hold himself up pretty well now. he just started rolling over, but gets a little frustrated trying to get his arm out from underneath him. he sleeps through the night and is starting to nap more regularly during the day. he's a really good baby.

THREE MONTHS OLD.

three months have passed by since this little sailor boy came into our lives. he is a happy little baby and rarely cries, but when he does, man... he shows you his lungs. he is very strong given his small size. he loves to work out his legs when his hands are held. he pushes himself up and stands with a smile of accomplishment on his face. he is very close to rolling over so i'm afraid his days of unattended couch lounging are over. he coos and hums to share his thoughts with those around him. if only we had a translator. he is sleeping very well, only waking once during the night for a little belly full of milk to help get him through til morning.

his time as a small baby is speeding by so fast. we are trying to savor every moment.

doesn't it look like they are holding hands in the last photo? i thought it was too cute not to share.

TWO MONTHS OLD.

sailor rhodes is two months old now and as you can see, he is not a tiny baby anymore. he has filled out quite nicely and is chubby and soft and squishy. i love it! he is still a pretty mellow little dude, although he does have a bad case of insomnia. he tries to sleep most of the day and then wants to stay awake during the night which is tough. i have been working on reversing his schedule but it's difficult to remind myself to keep him awake during the day when i am busy with school and chasing little birdie around. hah! but we're working on it slowly but surely.

he's my dream baby. i love him to pieces.

ONE MONTH OLD.

our baby son, sailor rhodes is just a little over one month old now. can you believe it? i say this every time, but time really does fly by. i just want to slow things down and soak up all of this tiny baby time before it's gone. i feel like you wake up one day and your child is two or nine or... twelve. it's bittersweet.

as cliche as it sounds, it feels like this little one has been a part of our family all along. he is a perfect fit. he eats, he sleeps, he coo's and squee's. he loves his tummy time and is getting so good at holding that little head up high. he is already getting so big. there have been a few itty bitty onesies that i have had to tuck away, again bittersweet.

this boy is near perfect in our eyes and we love him so.
