He’s got some long eyelashes.

Abram Roberts
Abram is 3 months old today - he’s getting so big (beware, I’ll say that each month)! These are his first photos of the new decade.
I mentioned to Cori that it’s likely we have more photos of Abram in his first three months than I have from my entire life. Technology has its ups and downs, but the ability to easily share Abram’s life with friends and family through photos and videos is invaluable.
Abram is developing such a unique personality. He’s a curious little boy. He likes to look around everywhere, especially at bright lights. He’s friendly with everybody and usually gives you a smile if you’re friendly with him. He likes to talk a lot - he makes noises to mimic what he hears his Mom and Dad say. His hands are a new found tool. He likes to chew on them and suck his thumb every once in a while. He’s still spends the night in our bedroom, but he sleeps like a champ, waking up once to be fed early in the morning.
Cori and I love watching our baby boy grow up. I do my best to cherish the moments I have with him while he’s so little. Sometimes I find myself in a moment with him, enjoying it thoroughly. I quickly begin demanding my brain to commit the moment to permanent memory. I don’t want to forget any of this.

Seven Weeks, Two Days
Wow, Abram turned seven weeks on Thursday! Every day I think, “Abram is growing up so fast!” I’m sure other parents can identify with this.
Cori and I are having an awesome time raising our little boy. He’s a joy to watch and play with. He’s laid back the majority of the time, which makes things easier for us. It’s a huge blessing to Cori and I. I don’t know what more we could ask for.
This weekend, Josh and told our wives that they could go see a movie while we stayed home with the kids. This meant I would watch Abram alone for the first (extended) amount of time. I was intimidated and nervous because no one pleases Abram like Mommy can, but I was well-equipped with what I needed to take care of him and prayed for the best.
It was a nightmare!
Only teasing, it went perfectly. Afterwards, I felt mentally prepped for the next time, which will be sometime late next year… ;)
We love Abram and are looking forward to his first holiday season. He’ll also get to spend lots of time with his Nana and Papa in Yorkville, who he misses very, very much.
