You are doing lots of fun things already and like all new parents, we think you're simply remarkable. You make the cutest noises, and there is one that I've just got to get on video before you decide to stop making it. It's sort of like a loud yawning noise, but you do it just like you're carrying on a conversation with us. Also, your neck is getting much stronger, and you're starting to get a lot better at controlling your head. It's really fun to watch you look around, taking in your world. (You particularly love to look at lights.) You can also kick pretty hard with your feet, which hurts when you kick me in the belly while we're trying to sleep at night, but I know you don't know what you're doing, so it's alright.
One thing that is guaranteed to help you fall asleep is to put you in the wrap or pouch. You love being snuggled up next to one of us while we go about the day. You've been on several trips on the MAX now, and you've even been to a movie!
I can already tell you're going to teach us many things. The evenings of colic you've been having lately are teaching us patience and understanding for your feelings. You're still adjusting to being out in this world, after all. It wasn't that long ago that you were still curled up safely inside me. Dad and I will help ease your transition the best we can. We love you so much! Looking forward to the many months of exciting new developments to come.
Love,
Momma
Oh my word. When you said how long Daniel is, and that his dad is so proud, I laughed out loud, and then cried! These are precious times together.
ReplyDeleteHis head looks so CUTE poking out of your sling! And you look happy and beautiful.
Very beautiful posts over Daniel's first month.
