Sterling's many faces

Where did this month go? My baby is growing up already so fast. I have lost all concept of time and responsibility and I just sit and laugh at Sterling's many faces. 

Sterling is coming into the sweetest season of expressions, smiles, observation, and a rhythm. I am learning all his little signs of what he needs and his moods. He is able to go down while still awake which is wonderful that I do not have to rock him to sleep every time. There is at least a half hour after his feedings where my full attention is on containing his spit up to prevent three outfit changes for him and myself. Last night he slept from about 7-12 which was the first time I was able to sit down and have dinner with J and watch a movie and go to bed together and get a couple hours of sleep before he was up again. It was wonderful. He only wakes up about once in the middle of the night (twice on occasion). I love putting him in my bed for his morning nap and we sleep from about 6-9 together. He loves the outside air and sunshine. He loves baths. He is still wearing newborn clothes and just so tiny. He has a dimple on his right cheek just like me. He is constantly making the funniest faces and seems to be very concerned by all that J and I do. He loves it when I sing to him. His eyes are open and making contact with us far more often. My heart melts when he stares up at me with those deep blue eyes and gives me the sweetest smile. He is my favorite and I just can't believe he is real.
