dear august baby,

you are three months old! THREE MONTHS OLD!! have you really been around here for that long, baby boy?

i look at you as i’m typing this and you’re looking around the room. you’re actually three months and seven days old today. and today, you are wearing the university of texas longhorns onesie that your auntie angel got you. and you’re extra smiley…and whiney…at the same time. it’s funny how you’re able to switch it up like you do.

of course, you’ve been “around” for over a year now but you’ve been breathing fresh air, making eye contact, and sharing smiles for us to see for three months now.

i took august with me to the laundry facility and since it’s in another building, we have to walk outside to get to it.

he LOVES outside. it’s indescribable the feeling i experience getting to watch his little eyes discover things for the first time that…things that i know he still cannot comprehend but is still in wonder of.

he seems quite captivated by the contrast and web of leaves against a bright sky. he’s often attracted to them and just gazes at them for the longest time.

he is his mother’s son.

right now, he is snoozing in my lap after having finished breakfast.

i love, love, love being a mom to this little boy.

happy three months, little prince.

currently using the internet at safeway, but when it’s working at home, i’ll have more updates.

we’ve had a busy, busy, busy past few weeks but it’s all been good.

having a baby doesn’t leave much time to focus on a whole lot else but we’re doing our best and definitely not complaining. he’s wonderful and we are definitely having the time of our life.

the past few weeks, august has gotten to experience quite a few firsts– his first extended trip somewhere (we went to los angeles to visit some family), his first halloween, his first rain last week, first pair of jeans, his first friend’s birthday party, and his first election. of course, he was oblivious of, i’m sure, mostly ALL OF THAT but, it is my job as his mommy to remember and get excited about every little first…even if he won’t remember a thing.
