3 Months!

Oh my how time has flown. It's been 3 months since Jett came into our lives and it's been an emotional roller coaster. He was only 3 lbs 7.5 oz but a fighter from day one. The first month was the hardest time in not only my life but J and most importantly Jett. He spent 23 days in the NICU getting big and learning how to eat. When he finally was able to drink from a bottle, we would celebrate the ounce he took down. His preemie clothes were still too big for him and he fit perfectly in one arm. Fast forward to today, he's 10lbs 4 oz and taking in 5/6 ounces at every feed. He's able to sit up for short periods of time in his Bumbo, and is a rolling over champ.He's much more alert. He stays up for the better part of the day and just wants to play. He makes all sorts of noises and kicks his feet and swings his arms around like he's dancing.I got him a little toy the other day and he just stares at it and occasionally smacks it with his hand and makes faces. Last night(his birthday) he also graced us with his first laugh. He scrunched up his nose opened his mouth and let out a big giggle. My heart melted. I know what it feels like to love someone so much it seems to make your heart grow. Our little monkey, munchkin, pumpkin, Jettster is an amazing little boy. I'm so honored to be his mommy and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. 


Happy Birthday Monkey! Momma Loves you!
