Three months later and Sterling is a king
He is 14.5 lbs. 24" long (being in the 83 percentile). Has a normal size head and bright eyes.
He is sleeping through the night for about 7-8 hours.
In the mornings I drink my coffee while he lays on his back next to me kicking, talking and smiling more than I thought possible.
Usually his first morning nap is somewhere next to me whether in bed, on the couch or on the screen porch swinging day bed.
He makes me feel like I am the most loved and treasured person in this world with his endearing smile and sparkling eyes ever on me in approval.
He loves to sing along with me, squawking in all his glory every time I start a melody.
He has discovered himself in the mirror and is his own biggest fan.
He alternates between the best days of solid naps and happy awake times to scattered mini naps and losing it by five o clock when J walks through the door.
He is getting better in the car if I plan it right.
He is only ever fussy if he is tired or hungry which makes it so easy to take him everywhere. If we take him out on a date, he usually will sleep on the booth or in our arms while I drink a margarita.
He still spits up like crazy causing us to change our clothes at least three times a day.
He absolutely loves his daddy and loves to tell him all about everything.
When he smiles it goes ear to ear with one dimple and his eyes sparkle.
He is so strong and able to stand so well for so long and when on his belly has started to hold his head up high and happily look all around.
He has discovered his laugh and every now and then if we are really awesome he will give us a big belly laugh.
He is a flirt.
He loves to take baths.
He loves to be naked.
Going outside will calm any storm.
He has started to pet gunner.
He is able to follow movement and look back and forth between me and J.
When he is falling asleep in my arms he will slowly close his eyes and make little cooing noises that melt my heart.
At night when it is bed time, I love to lay him on his side with his belly against my chest and his forehead in perfect kissing range...he usually falls asleep within minutes.
I don't think there is anything sweeter than when he is so heavily asleep with his big lips open and hands up by his face.
I just love this little boy so much more every day.
