3 Months

August flew by and Eli is already 3 months old.  Derek kept correcting me a few weeks ago when I kept telling people he was 8 weeks old - not the case.  August is bittersweet.  Even though I went through all of these health complications, I am very thankful to have had this extra month with my sweet boy. 
This past week was my first week back to work, and therefore Eli's first week at daycare.  It is true - bring the box of tissues.  I thought I was going to be ok with a few moments here and there, but it turns out those tough moments lasted the entire week.  However, we made it through.  I know everything will be ok, but it is just a tough transition.
However, Eli did great with Daycare.  I found a family owned place 5 minutes away from my work, so it has been great to leave during lunch to go and feed and hang out with him.  The first couple of days, I would just cry through the feedings, but I am getting better.  When we get there and Eli sees his ladies, he immediately starts smiling and laughing.  It is good to know that he is at peace there and loves it.

We love watching this little boy grow.  He has been so amazing, and we cannot wait to see what he achieves each month.

- My scale says 9.2 lbs
- I feel like his head is so heavy when he nurses ... what happened to my little 6lb baby boy :)
- Wearing newborn clothes, starting 0-3 months
- Smiling and talking like crazy
- The Ladies at day care nicknamed him "the Charmer"
- He was sleeping through the night by about week 10, from 10-4/5.  However, this past week (our transition week), he started waking up again at 2:30 for a feeding.  I am hoping that we can get him back on schedule soon.  Mama really needs some sleep now that I am back at work.
- First airplane ride to Colorado
- His head raises are so strong and controlled on Tummy time.  Even his daycare teachers were impressed
- Still absolutely loves his bath time
 

 
 Can you ever just choice one picture?!?!?!?  It was difficult to get him to smile.  He had a long at school, and I was being "that" mom.
