Today Blake is exactly 3 months/13 weeks old. This morning as I was getting dressed, I started chattering away to him and thinking about how wonderful he is. I happened to look at the clock, and it was 11:43 - the very minute he arrived on the earth. Very cool. So what's different about him this month? He fell in love with a toy a few days ago. Scout gave us a soft undersea mobile for Christmas, and we set him up in the car seat. He is just as infatuated with the mobile octopus as he is with his mirror turtle (i.e. Blake TV), which is fitting since they seem to come out of the same stuffed animal phylum. Of course, his infatuation with both of those interesting animals lasts for 10 minutes at the absolute most, so there's not much danger that he'll stop wanting us around. I kind of like being his favourite toy, although that feeling fluctuates according to how much sleep I got the night before.
He's such a cool little dude. I can't believe that it's only been 3 months since he got here. I feel like he's always been waiting in the wings, just picking his moment with style. As Miri said, "this baby solved a lot of your problems. This baby is a blessing." Yep. He's an incomprehensible blessing in footed pyjamas.
