Sleep Tight...
Reed just had his 3 month birthday, I can’t believe how quickly time is passing. It is a cliche, but I really am having a hard time remembering what life was like before him! (Though that may have something to do with sleep deprivation.)
Meredith and I are lucky; not only is he healthy, but Reed is also an incredibly well-behaved baby. Unlike his father, he communicates his needs with clarity — he only cries when he wants to make a point (Hungry! Tired!), not just for the sake of crying.
He’s also a champ in the car and was even better behaved than his mother and myself when we were stuck at O’Hare for 6 hours the other day.
All told, having him come into our lives has been an incredible experience that’s been pretty much what I had expected. The only real surprise to me is how deeply I love him. Just going away for a couple of days at a time on business trips has been a total killer. I miss seeing his smile and having him pass out in a floppy heap on top of me after feeding.
I hope to cut down on travel for the next several months; I know that he won’t be small forever and I don’t want to miss out on watching him grow.
