- too old-- I see my baby growing up before my very eyes. Each day learning new skills and making new expressions. Rolling over and raising his eyebrows. Giggling and babbling. Yes. It's too old. Can't you stay a baby forever, my dear little Noah?
Yet 3 months is also..
- too short-- can it really be only 3 months that I have known him? Only 3 months that I have been holding him and snuggling him in my arms? Is it only 3 months and a day ago that I was a waddling pregnant woman? Waiting with anxious anticipation for Noah's arrival?? It seems like so long ago. Yes. 3 months is too short for all that has happened, for all that has changed, and for the depth of my love for this child.
3 months is also...- too little---for how BIG our little guy is. Noah is as big as most 6 month olds, I think. The 0-3 month clothes have been passed by long ago, and half the 3-6 month clothes are bursting at the seams. The size 3 diapers are likely to be upgraded to the size 4 very soon (arg!!). Yes. 3 months seems much too little for his size.
But then again...when you see this face, 3 months is...- just right
- just perfect
- just absolutely the cutest time in the world

Dear little Noah. I love your smiles. I see little glimpses of Isaiah in your face. You are a precious blessing from the Lord.
