The Fourth Trimester

In three short months, Patton has gone from sleeping most of the day to waking up and experiencing the world around him. It’s amazing (and heart wrenching) to see him grow and change into a little man. From things as simple as his first time outside feeling the warm breeze on his face as we left the hospital to his first time wiggling his toes in the grass, he’s constantly immersed in new experiences.

It’s just such a sweet time & I’ve loved almost every second.
