But we've passed the growth spurt saga and the baby drama is behind us for now. Caleb's personality is starting to shine and now I'm having an absolute blast with each new milestone. To start, he's become so expressive with his eyebrows...    And with only three months in, Caleb is also closing in on Bandit's length. Oh oh.  Another thing I've noticed about this month is that he makes the most hilarious faces. His favorite is the Zoolander face (still hasn't turned left haha):  But my favorite is when he blows spit bubbles at me. I like to pretend they're kisses ;)  I also love when he sneezes  And I love to try and decipher the hysterical faces he makes:    Seriously, folks. This little boy just cracks me up. Especially now that I'm getting a glimpse of what it he'll be like when he's a teen. He's already giving me those "you're crazy, mom" looks that I can't help but adore.   And I know we're crossing into picture overload here but I just can't get over how big and handsome he is!  If one this is for certain, it's that all of those horrible nights seem like a distant memory when I look at these pictures. My patience and strength were tested one too many times this past month but I survived. I made it through multiple ends of the worlds and just like everyone says, it's all completely worth it. I'm starting to get better at functioning on very little sleep and coffee has been a huge lifesaver. As tough as it can be at times, I really do love being a mom and I wouldn't change anything (except for maybe a few more hours of sleep). Motherhood gets a little better with each passing day. And next month it'll only get better because I hopefully won't be a "single" mom anymore. I'll have my wonderful husband with me to enjoy all of the precious moments with Caleb that make those crazy nights completely worth it. I can't wait till the hunk sees this precious face again...  And for his to turn to survive another baby apocalypse ;) I love you my beautiful baby boy. Let's hope that month 4 brings just as much joy as the last :)

Caleb went through another horrific growth spurt where he stopped sleeping through the night and became an absolute terror. Instead of taking a quick 10 minutes to go back to sleep, it took hours. Once he was up, he was up and ready to play. And since momma wasn't down to play itsy-bitsy spider at the asinine hour of 3am, I would put him back in his crib only for him to end up screaming like a banshee till my ears bled. Needless to say, we hit a rough patch and going through it completely alone was harder than I ever imagined.
