Our little Miles Spencer is now 3 months old. I really feel that time is going so much faster this time around. Charlie moved out of our bedroom at 3 months. Miles probably could but he sleeps pretty deeply so we've barely noticed he's there. Over the next couple of weeks I'm sure we will move him out and enjoy the space in our room.
Miles keeps growing and he is still drinking mostly breast milk. I will probably mention this every month because of what a miracle it is. I still work hard to make this happen and I'm proud. It's fascinating to seem him grow soley from something I'm producing for him. I know that's how it was when he was in the womb but it just wasn't as visual to me.
Miles' Smiles have really been coming out this month. I love his dimples so much. We have been able to get him to laugh pretty hard on several occasions which brings me so much joy.
Along with the extra smiles, there seems to be more tears going around. Miles is not a fan of car rides or his car seat. We feel grateful if we can get through a quick trip without him crying in the car. I hope this stage doesn't last long. It has discouraged me from going on more outings. He's usually so pleasant.
He has mostly grown out of Newborn clothes and is wearing 3 month clothes. His sleeping schedule is still about the same where he will sleep for 8 hours then wake to eat and sleep some more. He has been doing much more baby talk and cooing but he will only do it if he has somebody' eye contact. I guess he likes to hold deep, focused, conversations. I'm not sure what else to say, we love him and here are some photos from his 3 month day!
Later in the day, Miles got to go swimming for the first time at the pool at Max's parent's apartment. We met Lisa, August, and Justin there.
Miles seemed to tolerate it. The water was pretty warm. Charlie is still pretty clingy in the pool.
And just to end this post, I want to point out that Charlie still loves his baby brother. I know his love may not be as prevalent in the future so I'm really trying to appreciate it while it lasts. He will still mostly leave him alone and then he occasionally wants to hold and kiss him. These times are usually on his own terms and unprompted by us. We love seeing the protective big brother come out of Charlie. We feel so blessed to have these two beautiful boys.
