Our little man has changed so much since he entered the world a month ago! Most obviously he has gained almost a whole pound (7lbs 1oz) and grew 1.75 inches (20.75). He also has much more of a little personality and we are able to decipher his whimpers and cries to better understand what he wants and needs. He is most definitely more alert and is enjoying his swings, bouncy seat, toys, and even some books now-a-days. One thing that has not changed yet, and we are eagerly awaiting, is his desire to sleep for longer stretches at night :) His favorite activity is far and away...nursing...and he just can't stand to go for more than 2 or 3 hours without a meal or a snack. But Mommy loves every opportunity to hold the snuggly little newborn and stare into his big blue eyes as he looks up at me-even at 4 in the morning-must be what they mean when they say Mother's Love. William has had many firsts this past month-outings to Grammy and Pappy's, walks up to Walnut street, a trip to target, a few weight checks at the doctor's, a picnic at Pappy's boat club, and his first real bath to name a few. Mommy has even manged to leave the baby (only with Daddy or Grammy) a handful of times to go to church, run an errand, and to have dinner out one night with Jessie and CJ. So, as you can see we are adjusting to being a family of 3 and in looking back over this first month together...I would say we are doing a pretty good job! One thing for sure, we are more in love with our little man than we ever could have imagined after only knowing him for such a short time!!
