3 months..really?



our littlest man is getting big before our eyes...he is different from his big brother in so many ways...including his size! He's in the 80th percentile for weight and height, putting him at 14 pounds and 24 inches long. Robert wasn't this big until he was about five months old. This has been a huge adjustment for Robert and I, especially when it comes to clothing! I've been scrambling to find clothes that fit and are also the right season...that meant ripping into our three to six month clothes a couple of weeks ago and pleading with my sister-in-law Emily to borrow some warm weather clothes that she had purchased for her son Braden (you're a lifesaver, btw)

Joshua is also more like his dad in terms of personality, content to go with the flow and change up his schedule when necessary...his older brother, like his mama, didn't do so well with changes and I'm so thankful that Joshua has inherited his daddy's freer and more relaxed spirit, the grace that my Joshua gives me is so appreciated.

here's the little chunky man, popping out (almost) of his UVA law onesie:

Yay for chunkers! Alec Wesley was a mammoth at 3 months. Wonder if it's a 2nd born thing.

Happy 3 months of making it as a parent with TWO!
