Reese, you are three months old!

Although you haven't been back to the doctor yet for an "official" weigh in, you are growing like crazy! I would guess that you've put on a good 2 pounds since your last pediatrician appointment! You have a few super cute baby rolls on your legs, but you are mostly just solid. You're still in size 1 diapers, but have moved into 3-6 month clothes.

Your hair is still dark brown and is starting to fill in more on the top of your head. Your eyes are still dark brown - and so unbelievably beautiful and expressive! I'm absolutely in love with your eyes.

You smile at almost anything & everything lately and occasionally let out sweet little laughs.

One of your favorite things to do is lay on a blanket on the floor & just look around. You watch Caroline run around with her toys, watch TV, watch mommy clean, watch the ceiling fan -- you're definitely a little observer & happy being on the floor until you get hungry.

You're so close to rolling over! You can get about 90% of the way there, and then you give up. I wouldn't be surprised if you start rolling over in the next week or so.

You currently eat about 5-6 ounces every 2-3 hours during the day.

I've never seen a baby that sleeps as well as you! You usually doze off after a 8pm-ish bottle and sleep until 7 or 8am. Seriously! It is totally normal for you to sleep a solid 12 hours. I'm honestly afraid it transition you to your crib (although you nap in there) since you do so well in your Rock & Play! Mommy loves her sleep & apparently you do, too!

We are having so much fun watching your personality develop & watching you interact with your big sister. She wakes up every morning and asks "Where baby Reese?" if she doesn't immediately see you. And you definitely save your biggest smiles for her!

Here are some recent pictures! As you can see, you're growing like crazy & get cuter every single day!

Reese, you are two months old!

My peanut butter cup is two months old! You had a doctor's appointment this month and your pediatrician was so impressed with you! She said you are "absolutely perfect" - exactly what I wanted to hear as a mom. You weighed in at 10 lb, 13 oz & you're 22.5" long now. :)

You are starting to hold your head up really well now & love looking around the room at whatever interests you. Most of the time you focus on Caroline & whatever she's getting into at the moment. Your big sister loves you so much -- she's always eager to help give you your bottle, pacifier or cover you in kisses!

You have officially moved into size one diapers & 0-3 month clothes, although some of the pants are still a little too big. You currently eat 4 oz of formula w every 2-3 hours, but there are certain times where you need 6+ ounces in a feeding!

You sleep for long stretches at night now (usually 5-8 hours) and still take multiple naps during the day. You are currently sleeping in your Rock & Play cradle by our bed at night & in your crib during the day. But you are always happiest when you get to sleep in someone's arms. And sometimes I just have to put all the housework aside & let you nap on me -- you'll only be this little once & I want to treasure every minute.

Reese, you are one month old!

Reese, you are one month old! You'll learn after awhile that I'm somewhat of a procrastinator - so let's get technical - you'll be 6 weeks old tomorrow. And in these past six weeks you have been growing like a weed! Although we aren't exactly sure what you weigh at the moment - you were 8 lbs, 12 oz when we had your one month weight check - its obvious you're moving in the right direction!

You've outgrown most of your newborn-size clothes at this point and are rocking your adorable 0-3 month outfits. The only exceptions are pants and diapers -- you're still in newborn-size for those. Your daddy and I joke that, unlike your sister, you seem to have inherited your daddy's butt (or lack thereof!) and skinny chicken legs. We'll see how long that stays true!

You are currently eating 3-4 oz of formula every few hours. You are able to sleep for longer stretches at night now, sometimes up to 5-6 hours - which makes me very happy! Mommy loves her sleep. :)

In the past week or so you've started flashing us some adorable smiles - melts our heart every single time! You've been smiling randomly in your sleep for awhile now, but these new ones seem to be genuine grins. So amazing!
