How much he's grown!

John's 12 weeks old now and he's really come a long way. When I look at him, I see the awesomeness of God's creation and I see the tremendous amount of detailing that God went through in coming up with the process of growth. Seriously... could God be any more marvelous?

Physically, he's now 5.6kg and is about 62.5cm long. That's a whole 12cm longer than when he was born! My bub's going to be at least a 6-footer. He's really really active even now... when he's in a playful mood, I can hardly do a change properly with his legs flying all over the place. Oh, and he's got loooong legs... like daddy's. He just about fits into his moses basket now. Give a couple more weeks and he's not going to be all that comfy in it any more. And we may just have a little soccer player in the making. We put a pomelo in front of him and he kicked it away! How cute is that?! I think you've got to see it to know what I mean.

Even feeding's a lot easier now. What used to take a whole hour for a feeding session now takes only 20 - 30 minutes... so he's more efficient in getting his food. He also looks up at me and smiles while feeding... which obviously melts my heart.

He's also laughing and "talking" a whole lot more now. He is especially happy after a poo. :) He really takes to odd noises and moving faces. He loves it when we stick our tongue out at him and he looks like he's trying to do the same.

All this... And to think that his little journey journey in life's only just begun. John's got years ahead of him! I can't wait to see more in the next couple of weeks.
