13 weeks and I want to stop counting!

Little Lucas is 13 weeks now, and it seems like just yesterday I was sitting here blogging and wishing he were born already. I wish time would just stand still for just a while so that I can continue to enjoy all of him, just like he is now. Its like that song, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol...I just want to lay there and forget the world. Its amazing to see him see things for the very first time. His ocean blue eyes just light up and he grins that beautiful one dimple grin. Hes just beautiful. Heres a picture of him I had taken a week ago:

And its wonderful when I take him with me places and people tell me how cute and handsome he is! I like to tell him how cute he is..."Mama thinks you are so cute! Yes you are...." and "Can Mama steal your sugars, Butter?" Can Mama steal your sugars? Yes, I will admit, my son has turned me into a blubbering idiot! Even Jeremy joins the game. "Daddy? Have you ever seen such a handsome feller?" and he responds, "Nope, not as cute as wittle Wuke." And so the games go on and on.

My cousin Jessie who happens to be Lucas' 2nd cousin, loves Lucas. She stands there, with her curly hair in pig tails, her chubby legs close together, a big smile on her cherub cheeks and puts her little hand on her chest and says: "Baby Lucas is my best fwiend." Its so adorable. I get there to pick him up from Nany's (my grandmother, Lucas' great grandmother.) and Jessie runs to him and says, "Here her is. Di, heres Baby Lucas. Heres my best fwiend." And I correct her: "here HE is." and she responds with "Here her is. Her is a boy. I am a girl." She still hasnt mastered the he/she him/her thing. Then she proceeds to kiss him: "I take her pacifier and kiss her lips." or, "I love her foots." or "His head is so soft, and hes so cooooootttteeee!!!!" or he lets out a fuss and shes right there: "Whats wrong squirt??" I wonder who taught her that?? She was telling me yesterday how excited she is that Baby Lucas is going to the beach with her. I am sure hes excited with her. I will never pry her lips from him now! But it really is sweet that she loves him so much. Shes not jealous a bit. She wants to hold him, buckle him in his seat, kiss 50 times goodbye, tells him she'll miss him while hes gone. And she will see him later. Or, shes standing in my way telling me if I take her baby Lucas she will have Pop-Pop spank my butt. Its hysterical. Shes a character all right. And I just wonder how much longer she will keep wanting to kiss her cousin Lucas. Should I be concerned about that? Does it count as "kissing cousins?"

That is sooo cute. How old is she?
I wasn't able to pull up the picture. I clicked on it and it led me to a place that I have to sign in with a password.
