Three Months Old!

Dear babies, I would swear it was like a week ago that you were turning two months. But you've just turned three months already! That sounds so old--time is really starting to go quickly. Ack! You're officially infants, no longer newborns. 😦 You are continuing to grow, though it seems like it's slowed down a...
