to our one month old wiggle worm

one month ago today you were born. wow how time flies. so far in your one month of life you have shown us a few things that you like. you like to lay on your belly, that is FOR SURE. you like to look at the mobile in your room and stare up at the black and white pictures. you have done some of your first "talking" while looking at it. you seem to like bathtime....you were pretty calm even for that very first bath. and you like to eat. you eat mostly every 2 hours, which is very very often. at least you are an efficient eater and can finish a feeding in 15 minutes or so.
things you don't seem to like include sleeping. much to mommy's chagrin, you don't really sleep for any length of time, but prefer to take 30 minute catnaps, even in the overnight hours. you also don't seem to like riding in the car. the car was a miracle elixir for your sister, knocking her out as soon as the car started moving. you somehow often manage to stay awake, even for longer rides.
you are this adorable little guy, with big blue eyes and long legs that you like to stretch out, but that you also like to tuck underneath you when you lay on your belly. you have a funny habit of grabbing a handful of your own hair, and then instead of letting go you hold on supertight and cry because your hair is being pulled.
you are NOISY. you are constantly making all sorts of snorts, huffs, grunts, and even your breathing is loud. and you also have not yet mastered the art of spitting up. instead of spitting up out of your mouth, you often have it come out your nose. this is still very scary for mama and papa, just as it was in the hospital. we often had to call the nurse in to suction out your nose when this happened.
we feel so blessed to have you, our son. so far you seem like a pretty easy going guy. you cry when you are hungry and when you need a change of scenery, but that's pretty much it. you don't seem to mind too much when your sister and your cousins try to entertain you by getting right in your face or giving you a push in your swing. we love you and your crazy hair and your tiny chin and all the parts of you that we have already, in this short month, come to know and love.
