Happy 3 month birthday, Kade (a couple of days late)

I can not believe Kade is already 3 months old!  Since I plan on printing the blog for both Kade and Marleigh to have, here is Kade's 3 month letter.

Kade Robert-

You are already 3 months old!  Where does time go?  I can't seem to remember life without you.  You are such a happy baby. 

You smile all the time and laugh quite a bit.  It is the cutest laugh.  It is kind of a low, "huh, huh, huh."  Just the other night, after our 4:00am feeding, I gave you your bink and put you back in your crib.  A few minutes later you were fussing just a bit.  I went back to your room, and you had spit your bink out.  As soon as you saw me, you gave me a huge smile and laughed, "huh, huh, huh..."  We repeated that about 3 times.  It was like you were saying, "I knew I could get you to come back in here!!!" 

You recognize quite a few people including Mommy, Daddy, Gigi, Ashley (our daycare), and Marleigh.  You love your sister so much and watch her all the time.  As soon as she speaks, you are looking to find her.  You give her some of your biggest smiles.  She loves you, too.  She is always wanting to help change your diaper, feed you, and give you a bath.  You really enjoy your baths, as well.

You are a BIG boy!  Already, you weigh over 20lbs!  You are almost to catch up to Marleigh.  She tries to hold you, but she huffs and puffs and says, "he's soooo big!"  You are still wearing some 9 month clothes now, but 12 month clothes fit, too.  Everyone thinks you are older than what you are because you are such a big boy. 

You have started reaching and grabbing things.  You are VERY attentive and track objects well.  I think you think you are older than what you are, too!  You try to sit up, and can for just a few seconds, before starting to lean over.  Daddy works with you on standing.  You love to stand and bounce.  It makes you grin from ear to ear.  You babble back when we talk to you, and are very expressive. 

I amazed at what a good eater you are!  Up until recently, you were taking 8 ounces of formula every 3 hours.  In the last week, you have space that out to 4 hours.

You are such a fantastic sleeper.  I just put you in your bed with your bink, and you usually go right to sleep.    Typically, you go down for the night around 8:00pm.  Most of the time you wake up around 4:00am for a bottle, then go right back to sleep.  There has been a few nights, where you've slept clear until 7:00!

Kade, we love you more than words can express.  You've already brought us so much joy.  I can not wait to see all that God has in store for you!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and Marleigh
