You are a little over one month old. On your month "birthday" you had an appointment to check you over and see how much you have grown (and my how you did grow). Your weight is now 10 lbs 11 oz almost 2 lbs more than your birth weight and almost 3 lbs more than your weight 4 days after your birth. Your height is now 22 1/4 inches, 1 1/4 more than birth. You have to be growing because you are eating like crazy, and all that food has to be going somewhere. We are all settling in quite well around here, and so far God has protected you from our ignorance! After living the first week I wasn't sure we were all going to make it, that maybe you and your dad would be doing this on your own, but I made a comeback and we are all three running the race quite well. You have changed so much in the last 5 weeks! Not only are you getting bigger but you do something new on a daily basis. Holding your head up, following us with your eyes, finding yourself in a mirror, knowing who we are, smiling at us, and turning your head while on your stomach are just a few of the things we have noticed about you lately. You are almost able to push up and any day now I expect to see you off an running. You are already living up to your name which means: small battle or spirit of the battle. In hindsight might not have been the best to chose, but I already see some of that in how you exhibit some stubbornness with us at times (don't know WHERE you would get that trait from).
I never knew that life could feel like it is going by so fast and so slow at the same time, and that I could function just as well on a few hours of sleep that I do on 10!
We love you and every day is a new joy,
Love Mom
