Blake is a sweet little cuddly bundle against my cheek. But he isn't so little any more. He now weighs almost 11 pounds and is getting so strong. He can push off with his legs and lift his head during tummy time. I am so thankful that he is growing so strong and happy. But I often ask him what he did with that tiny little 5 pound, 2 ounce baby they handed me in the hospital.
As the months have sped by, I find myself, more and more, feeling so thankful. Thankful that he is right on track with his milestones - he can follow an object and coo at his favorite toys. The fact that he has favorite toys is a huge blessing in a Down's child. I found that out last week. I am thankful that he is such a happy baby. He wakes up just observing his world and he rarely cries. And when he does it is because he is hungry!
I still feel sad on occasion because I wanted a different life for my little sweetie. But he doesn't know any different - he is conquering life full steam ahead and loving every minute! His personality is the sweetest and kindest soul - I really feel that. He has so much to give! I know as much as I need him, others are going to need him too and that he already has a magnetism that attracts people to him. It is more than being a cute baby (although he is that too!) but he seems to draw people in and he smiles and makes them feel loved already. I sure love that little guy. Enjoy some of these 3 month pics! He is growing so fast.
