It is hard to believe that Joey is already 3 months old. I cannot believe how fast time is flying. I have had to pack away some clothes that are too small, we have graduated to size 2 diapers, and are even starting to settle into an eat/sleep routine. Joey is rapidly becoming a baby and no longer is a newborn. It makes my heart hurt to see him grow so fast! As if that isn't bad enough, my heart absolutely weeps at how old my Benny Boo is. Ben is such a big boy. A friend was over for dinner last week and commented on how old he looked and what a handsome boy he is. You can really look at him now and see what he will look like as a man and that kills me. He tells me he is my big boy and Joey is my baby when I slip and call him (Ben) my baby, to which I respond that both boys will always be my babies...and then I cry. My poor boys, they are going to have to get used to dealing with an emotional basketcase for a mother.
Ben continues to be an excellent big brother and helper. He has, however, evidently just recently realized that there is a baby in our house as evidenced by the "regressive" behaviors he has exhibited lately. He has been having accidents again and has been sucking his thumb...this one is particularly odd as he never was a thumb sucker. Oh well.
Joey continues to be the easiest baby on the planet. He is so laid back and easygoing...except not so much today. Today is a little nutty in our house. Ben woke up vomiting last night and, though he is feeling better now, it was a rough morning. Joey has been very high maintenance (for him) today and has resisted all efforts at taking a nap and wants to be rocked and nursed at all times. I am convinced he is going through a growth spurt as he doesn't seem to be satisfied after feedings and I swear he is going to suck his little thumb off soon. I picked him up a bit ago and asked him " who do you think you are? you are supposed to be my easy boy, mommy is tired." He responded with an enormous gummy grin and I treated him with more milk. I'm such a sucker!
All in all life is good and I continue to count my blessings. Ben told me this morning that I am a "nice mommy and I make sick people feel all better." What more could I ask for?
Ben's shark face....perhaps not the best choice of photo to share right after I talk about how handsome he is?!?

Don't fret... G never took a pacifier until she saw Cooper with his. We still give her one every night. If it makes my life easier I am all for it. The regression will go by fast. I promise.
So happy to see your boys doing so well. Give our best to them. Miss and love you!
