3ish months

Dear August,

You recently passed the three-month mark and you no longer look like a newborn, but instead you are a 15 pound baby! Your cries are beginning to sound different; sometimes you screech or whimper, other times you wail, and every once in a while you really let loose. You babble and make the cutest little noises. You are a great eater (did I mention you are 15 pounds?!) and you get hangry if I try to rush you or cut your feeding short. You like to look at me and smile while you eat, and I am thankful that I have this special bond with you. 

You are becoming a better sleeper. On Madison's birthday we put you to bed at 8:00 pm and you slept until 5:00 am, which made me so, so happy. You will be sad when all the kids go back to school (they love you and entertain you all day long), but it will be nice to get you on a good schedule so that you can take regular naps, especially since you now nap better in your crib than on the go in your car seat. 

You like to make a face that we call "bug eyes." It's really pretty funny. You don't like to be poopy or wet. Your brothers and sister are getting better at changing your diapers. You like to go swimming and you love baths. 

You can roll over from your stomach to your back, but it might actually be accidental because when you get tired of being on your stomach you put your head down and the rest of your body flips over. You are beginning to prefer mom over others (awe, you do love me!). You are starting to drool (I hope it is many months before you get teeth) and you constantly and frantically suck on your fingers.

Your nicknames include Cinco (Dad's), Auggie Doggy, Auggie Froggy, Guster, and baby.

We love you Auggie!
