One month!

I can't believe my baby boy is a month old. It totally seems not long ago, but also forever ago that we were meeting you for the first time. This month has been filled with joy as we watch you grow. You already are grown out of some of the newborn sleepers and onesies, lengthwise more than width. Your cheeks have gotten pretty chubby, but they don't seem as relatively chubby as when you were born. I am going to try to go to the breastfeeding support group at the hospital on Friday as I am very curious how much you weigh right now.

You are really good at holding your head up and can support it yourself for about 15 seconds before you start wobbling. You are still nursing and I think it's still going really well. Another thing that's improved a lot is your eye function it seems. I think you actually look at us on purpose and can even see us!

I want you to be my tiny little baby forever. I love sitting with you in my arms either with you looking back up at me or watching you sleep. When you are falling asleep you do this thing where it seems like you're having a good dream because you smile every few seconds. It is the most adorable thing ever. Your little chin quivers when you cry, and I also think this is adorable. Your dad says my chin does the same thing when I cry. You love to be held and sometimes you wake up when I try to put you in your crib or bassinet.

I am going to try to schedule you for one month pictures for tomorrow.
