3 Months Old!

My how time flies! Josiah turned three months old yesterday. I was thinking the other day that he has played a part of some kind in our lives for one year now. It has been a wonderful (yet strange) year.

Major accomplishments for the past 3 months are no different from other babies, but they are still so precious and cute. He can suck his thumb like a champ, role over (from belly to back), hold and shake toys/teethers, smile the most beautiful smile, make all kinds of sweet and happy sounds, and last but certainly not least – sleep through the night!

My favorite things aside from his smile are listening to him babble over the monitor in the mornings as he lies in his crib and we are in bed. Even though he often “goes off” before our alarm clocks, he is much more pleasant to wake up to and it puts a smile on my face to start the morning. The best part is that he is happy and content to be there, so we don’t have to jump up (this is not to be confused with when he wakes up crying in the middle of the night which rarely happens, thankfully). Secondly, I love the sigh he often gives at the end of a long yawn. So sweet. I also like to listen to Jacob “interpret” Josiah’s babble. It is usually some tale about what one of our animals did.

Here are some recent pictures and video:

Here's our sweetie at 10 weeks.

And at 12 weeks. Just as happy as can be.

Isn't he cute?

Bathtime with Daddy is fun!

Warning: Listening discretion required. He's all boy! (I couldn't resist this)

This video is meant to be enjoyed for its sound only. Josiah stops "talking" when he sees the camera, so I just turned it on and left it alone. Consequently, you mostly just see my hand.
