Where did my tiny newborn go?

Our tiny newborn is no more. He has been replaced by a little human. A chubby little human.

Here he is at about 2 weeks old and under 5 lbs. 

Here he is now at 3 months and over 12 lbs.

Is that even the same baby? I hadn't realized how much he really has changed until I compared those pictures. 

I kind of miss my tiny little newborn. He slept a lot. He never really cried. He snored and squeaked and grunted a lot.

But I also love my baby boy that is big and smiley and fun. He sleeps a lot less. He cries a lot more. He coos and whines and talks all the time. And he is changing everyday too. 

Here are some new developments in the life of Thompson:

-He is starting to be entertained by toys instead of just mom and dad, which makes life a little easier for mom and dad. 

-He sleeps through the night, which makes life a lot easier for mom and dad. 

-He is vocalizing like crazy and loves having little conversations with us.

-He gets more and more smiley every day but has to be tricked into smiling for the camera.

-He likes to be goofy.

-He is starting to figure out that his hand is part of his own body and loves sucking on it.

-He has developed this weird habit of almost always having his right arm sticking out with his hand in a fist. Is that normal?

 And some things that have never changed about our little guy.

-He has always loved cuddling, especially when he is tired. 

-He has always loved looking intently at people and the world around him. One of the things he has always loved best is looking at the airplanes above his changing table.

 

-And he has always loved looking unbelievably cute.
