My Sweet Mr. Man,
A month ago today you came into our lives, and we are all so grateful that you did! you fit right in our family, and we all love you to pieces. i mean... how couldn't we??! theres so much to love!
you are SUCH a boy!! we have been pee pee'd on SO many times already, and your burps and toots are too funny! you even get super sweaty.. especially when your mad!, your grunts are hilarious too. on top of all that your so strong! you can hold up your head so well, and push off hard with your feet. (makes me know i wasn't crazy when i talked about how strong your kicks were in my tummy!)
but underneath all that boy is the most cuddly little thing. you love to cuddle and snuggle in! although you can be a fussy pants!, the evenings are the hardest times, but your usually just tired. its true that you LOVE to be held the best!! as long as your in someones arms, your pretty happy! and when your happy, were happy too! we just stare at you in awe of how blessed we are!
when it comes to sleeping, you prefer to sleep on your tummy, and laying on me or daddy's chest! you do not like sleeping on your back for very long, and will wake up!
when it comes to sleep for mommy and daddy, your doing pretty good (dont tell.. but mommy handles lack of sleep MUCH better than daddy does : )
i'll feed you around 8:30 then you and i go to bed around 9 and you will sleep next to me for about 4 or 5 hours then i'll feed you at about 1 or 2, then you will sleep till about 5 , it gives me about 6 hours total, its manageable, but i'll be super excited when you start going a little longer for your middle of the night feeding.
speaking of feeding, your a great eater! and i'm so happy that your healthy!
at such a tiny little age, you have already formed some pretty big opinions! here are some things you'd give a "thumbs down" to...
* diaper and clothes changes (most of the time)
* baths
* not eating at least every 3 hours during the day : )
* when we put you on your back
* your carseat
But a big "thumbs up" would be for...
* sleeping on your tummy (on one of us)
* being held
* your soothie when your tired (binky)
* kisses on the lips
* nursing
* MOMMY!!! : )
and i have my own "thumbs up" list.. i love to snuggle with you, i love it when you smile in your sleep, i love that i can console you better than anyone else, and i love it when you look into my eyes, and stare at me for awhile.. it melts me!!
you are such a sweet baby.. its hard to believe your mine, and our last baby!, i want to soak in every moment that i can.. and never forget how you fit so easily in my arms.. and i want you to know.. after only 1 month of knowing you.. that i love you more than words!
Love, Mommy
