Today You Are One Month

Dear Samuel,

Today you are one month. Needless to say, it's been a very busy month for you, little boy! During your first month of life you...

got a little stuck on your way into this world, but made it eventually

impressed the doctors and nurses with your newborn-handsomeness

slept a lot...and now sleep very little

had your first bath

visited the doctor...

three times

make that four times...

learned how to eat (and taught Mommy how to feed you)

practiced lots of faces - smiling, frowning, scowling,

had the hiccups almost everyday

went to Gram and Pops' house for the first time

learned how to follow your rattle with your eyes

met lots of people (and your doggie)

practiced grabbing with your hands - mostly grabbing Mommy's finger

took your first walks around the neighborhood in your stroller

received lots of exciting gifts

grew and grew and grew

gained lots of neck strength

spent lots of time on Daddy's lap "just chillin"

spent lots of time in Mommy's arms "just cuddlin"

brought everyone much joy and happiness!

Can't wait to see what the next month brings, little man!
