Ariv Raja Gautam - Month 3

 Ariv!! How are you already 3 months old?! You have accomplished so much in the last month. You started rolling belly to back with no warning whatsoever. You transitioned into a sleep sack like a big boy. You took your first flight and met all of your cousins in Ohio! You celebrated your first Thanksgiving holiday (Mama’s favorite) and had a major growth spurt. You have begun to be so interactive and playful and have the cutest smiles! Everyone comments how chill and happy you are - you definitely are the calm to our crazy. You are very go with the flow but are the happiest when being held for your naps. Anytime we try to take you outside in the carrier, you are usually passed out on Mama. You experienced your first snow in Columbus and also attended your first religious ceremony to celebrate your cousin Sahil's thread ceremony. You even got to witness your first OSU vs. Michigan rivalry game with a huge upset from Michigan. You got to go on your first ferry ride and celebrate your doting Bua's birthday. You have the biggest pout when you are upset - it honestly makes us all giggle because it is so pronounced. You have even startled to give us little giggles yourself. 

You light up when you see big sister Layla and she loves to love on you. As do we with your chubby little cheeks and thighs. Soon you will celebrate your first Christmas and New Years Eve and we can’t wait to make more memories as a family. We love you sweet boy.
