So my son is now three months old. And the last couple of weeks, he has been changing a LOT. He now smiles constantly (when he isn't hungry or tired), and will actually react to me. I smile, he smiles. I put out my hand, he plays with it. He's so much more interesting! Rather than just smiling because it happened by accident, he responds to his surroundings. It is incredible to see, he seems to be learning so much so quickly! He's holding his head up, he's observant, and he's also starting to sleep most of the way through the night (much to Lacey's delight). He just seems like more of a person, and less like a baby/bump on a log. All that to say, I guess he's a keeper. I can't wait to see how much he changes in the NEXT three months of his life!
BTW, his hair is turning more red, but his eyes are still blue as can be. And he is GROWING like a weed! He's almost 13 pounds, and has grown in length by almost half a foot in 14 weeks. God is good.
Fun, isn't it? And it only gets better. I'm still waiting to see how Dr. Cox's comment on having a kid 'It's like having a dog who slowly learns how to talk' bears out. Ambrose has mamama and dadada down pretty well, though it's not always apparent if he knows exactly what he's saying. And the last couple week's he's learned to wave hello and goodbye, though again, I'm not sure if he's got the full significance. Anyway, it is a great deal of fun to see them grow up. Though I hear it breaks your heart in the end.
Well, such is life.
How's your church recovering from the fire? Hope all's well.

The church is doing well. We bought a new building (an old elementary school) and are making plans to renovate it. Thanks for asking.
