we have a thumb sucker and other random thoughts

Our little boy passed the 3 month mark a few days ago.   How is it possible that 3 months of pregnancy feels like 7 years and 3 months of a babies life feels like a mere blink of an eye? It is a little bitter but mostly sweet.  I feel like he is growing up before my eyes and I should just have my tiny little newborn still but instead I have a growing baby who gets more and more fun every day.  


Knox reached 12 pounds finally (a whopping 10th percentile) and it seems when he hit 12 pounds he become the funnest and happiest baby around.  His eyes are getting to be a piercing blue, his cheeks are  becoming more and more squishy and kissable, and his smile lights up a room.  Needless to say he has my heart.  

Knox has recently discovered his thumb and he likes to suck on it as much as possible.  As Blake pointed out, it's so cute now, but when we're paying for orthodontics to undue the damage done from his perfect little thumb, it won't be so cute. 


Knox has a love affair with jumping that is unmatched.  We can't wait until he is big enough for a Johnny Jump-up.  Until then we are the ones helping him jump.  My arms have never been stronger.


Blake and I are less than 2 weeks away from graduation.  We have been driven to counting down the hours until we are done. We can't wait to move on to our next stage. 


We bought a one way ticket to San Diego for Knox and me.  I had a moment of panic where I told Blake he couldn't by the ticket but once we had paid for it I was fine.  I can't believe we are actually moving.  I get more excited every day and I am so excited to spend my days at the pool, beach, Sea World, Disneyland, and the zoo with my little boy and handsome husband.  Life could be worse.

We've been spoiled to have Blake's mom Sharon in town to help us get through finals.  We always love having her here.

And lastly, Blake's mom bought Knox the cutest outfit for Easter.  We pulled it out and put it on Knox for the first time yesterday.  I may be bias because I am his mom but I have never seen a cuter kid.  Here is proof.

This is how Knox looks at me sometimes and I feel like he is judging me. I feel slightly self conscious but it's so cute that I get over it pretty easily.

Oh, and in case you were wondering what Knox would look like with pigtails, here's a little picture to clear that up.
