Guard at 3 months

I will admit I am far behind on blogging  - two months behind.  When I think of Guard a few months ago, it is hard to remember what he was doing.  Really?  It's a good think I am writing some of this down because there is no way I could remember it in 20 years!  I'm chalking it up to my sleep deprived haze that I am constantly navigating this summer.
Of course, he is still so adorable.   I find myself just staring at his blue eye, chubby checks and gummy grin.  He is amazing to me.
He is a smiler.  It doesn't take much to earn a smile from our little guy.  He is naturally happy.  We got lucky with this one.
He has been, and continues, to sleep through the night.  His naps are short and sporadic, but I'll take the big chunk of sleep at once.  He is a good eater, it you can get his attention.  He doesn't like an audience when eating and gets distracted easily.  We sit on the same spot, on the same couch to eat.  Usually that works.
He does like to be held - all the time.  And I do it.  Yep, he's spoiled.
His brothers and sister adore him.  His biggest smiles are for Gavin.  Enoch love to play with him and Kate picks out his jammies and clothes every day.
Guard is fascinated with Coal.  He watches her constantly.  If she is around, Guard is fixated on her.  He loves to 'pet' her (or pull her fur) and Coal is very patient with him.  When someone throws the ball for Coal and she catches it, Guard flails his arms and legs and smiles.  His little laugh is so cute when Coal is around.  I think they will be good friends.
He is growing well.  He reminds me a bit like Gavin when he was a baby - long body, long feet, small head.  We will see what happens.
We are crazy in love with our little guy!
