3 months old!

Where do I begin?? Three months have gone by so quickly. Before I know it, Riley will be crawling and wanting to do anything but cuddle with Moma. Just in the last month, he has grown so much and changed even more. He mastered rolling from belly to back and rolls to his side from his back. Just last week he turned around in his bed through the night. We put him in facing one way and the next morning he was turned the other direction!! I've convinced myself that Riley will not forget me while I'm gone to work. When I get home, his eyes just light up and he follows my every move. It frustrates Jeremy if he is feeding him when I get home because Riley won't stay still to eat and he moves and wiggles trying to see me. I love it! We've had some frustrating times since I returned work the last couple of weeks. It's been a big change for us all. Thankfully, I have supportive family and friends. The days where I have cried going to work have been few. One of my most favorite things this month was when Riley really learned to laugh out loud. He has laughed before by accident, but he does it now on purpose and it is the cutest thing ever. My Granny actually is the best person to get him to laugh. Popa said it is because he thinks she looks funny!! Not true!! We had our 3 month pictures taken Saturday and as soon as I have access to them online I will pass along the information. I just get so amazed at how much he has changed since I brought him home. He doesn't look like the same baby. Every day when I come home I look him over to see if anything changed through the day. Call it silly if you want, but I can't help myself. He truly is my world and I cannot imagine life without him and really can't see how we made before him. He has brought so many blessings our way just by being here. He is a very loved little boy and I hope that he always feels that way. I worried that I would feel our bond fade away after I went back to work, but it has gotten stronger. There are days when he is clingy to me when I get home. I assume because he missed me more that day. I don't know how to explain it, but the way he looks at me and into my eyes just melts my heart every time. People tried to explain what being "Mommy" was, but really they can't. No one can. It really is a once in a lifetime thing and the feeling is unbelievable.
