September 4, 2012- 3 Months Old Today!

Today, Will is 3 months old!  Where has the time gone?  I can't believe that I have a 3 month old baby and he has changed so so much.  Brandon and I took Will to the zoo yesterday, and we had a great time!  Will is so much more awake now, and he really seemed to enjoy the fresh air at the zoo.  We took him out of his stroller to show him the animals and while I know he didn't know what he was looking at, he really seemed to be happy just hanging out with us outside.  
When we were driving home yesterday, I looked over at Will and he was smiling a huge smile and I was wondering what he was smiling at.  That's when I realized that he was smiling at himself in the mirror that is hanging on the back of the seat in front of him.  He seemed so happy sitting and smiling at himself.  It was so cute!
Brandon and I have been talking about our adventure over the past 3 months.  We could never have prepared ourselves for our wild ride, but we would never change it.  I really think that this experience has made us better parents and it has brought our marriage closer as well. I don't think a couple can make it through the NICU without each other.  Brandon was my rock while we were in the NICU and he still is my rock.  Will and I are so lucky to have him and Brandon and I are so lucky to have Will.  Will is our little miracle and he makes my life complete.  He is the best baby and we love watching him grow everyday and reach new milestones.  I can't wait to see him grow up, but in the same breath, I don't want him to grow up too fast.  I want him to be my sweet little preemie forever!
