Kuba is 12 weeks old.

He is starting to be able to control his left hand. He likes to suck on it. He sees it, brings it to his mouth with precision, and sucks like crazy...then he gets excited, and his arms flail, and he starts the whole process over again. He is growing, and is, I believe, about 14 pounds...

I am enjoying so much watching him grow. He is turning into this little man, and it's so much fun to see his personality showing itself here and there. For example: He knows that if he fusses, just a little, I am a wuss, and will pick him up. He doesn't even put much effort into fussing, he just pouts his little lip, and I turn to jelly.

Becoming a mother has surprised me. I used to never like kids. I mean, I always knew I would love/ like my own kids, but other kids just annoyed me. I have suddenly become interested in my friends children. I guess becoming a mother, you see how you want to brag, and talk about how great your kids are all the time, and it's become way easier to identify with those women.
