Rod is 3 Months Old

Rodrik is 3 months old today!

and I am sooooo in love.

 But it has seemed like quite a long 3 months. Like really long. Which is weird but there's been a lot going on since he's been born. TONS. Plus for me, newborns have this tendency to slow down time...

  We are so lucky to have him though.  He has his very own personality and it's pretty funny.

about Rod at 3 months:

***He is extremely solemn. Like rarely smiles without encouragement. And even then your lucky to get much.

***He's never laughed and has a fairly perturbed look on his face most of the time. Who knew perturbed could look SO dang cute. :)

***He burps like an adult, but way more often than an adult.

***One of Rod's most favorite things is to be in this little sling that goes accross my body. It's a tight squeeze, but he loves it. (pict below) He falls asleep almost every time.

***He's definitely a mans man. He's never been mistaken for a girl. I don't think he ever will.

***He has a clogged duct in his left eye.  Huge pain in the bum. It goops all over the place. And it just looks gross. Which is unfair cause he's cute! Poor kid. I just love him.

***He is a big kid. Bulky but with very long skinny arms, and his legs are long too, just not quite as skinny. He's got huge hands and feet. He just seems wide.

 ***He LOVES sucking on his hands.

***He is kind of a snuggler--not like a HUGE snuggler, but kind of. That has been really fun.

***He is sleeping really well at night. From like 10pm to 7am. My next step is to try to get him to go to sleep earlier.

***He will let me kiss and kiss him and just sit there and be his solemn self. I love doing that.  It's so funny, it's like he is indifferent to it.

 ooop!! look at that almost smile!! That's about as close as it gets on camera, his big smiles are way to fleeting to catch.

Beautiful boy. 

Congratulations! you have now seen the many faces of Rodrik!

He is my doll baby!
