One Month

Everett Tristan how is it possible that you are already one month old?! You are already growing up WAY to fast.

The JOY that you have brought your Dad and I is completely indescribable. I wake up each morning at 4 am with a purpose and even though I am exhausted when I realize that it's not my alarm but your precious voice crying I look forward to seeing you!

You are already trying to be more grown up than you are by raising your head. Everyone has remarked on how strong you are.

Every single person who has seen you has talked about what a beautiful baby you are. You look more like your Dad than your Mom but you do have my feet! Thank heavens for that. To prove you are my son we will just take our socks off and put our feet together! You do however have my attitude when you get tired... sometimes you just need to scream for a second and then all is well again.

I love to watch you sleep and listen to your deep breaths. I'm convinced you are going to be a snorer like your dad.

When we left the hospital with you, you weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. which was 4 oz. less than your birth weight. Finally today after 3 weeks of weekly weight checks you are weighing 9 lbs. 2 oz! Whohoo! The Dr. says you definitely do not look like a child in need of nutrients.

You don't like to take naps during the day at home unless you are in my arms, I an guessing this is because you don't want to miss out on any fun happening around you but really nothing fun happens without you anyway.

You are such a precious gift Everett and these last 4 weeks with you have been the greatest and most challenging of my life! I am MADLY in love with you sweet one!!

Happy one month of life!!
