Baby Bean is One Month

First the pictures...
G's favorite way to pass the day

There is no doubt...G loves his daddy and his daddy loves him

I love this picture.  I tried to use it for his birth announcement but no matter how I cropped it, it looked weird.  It was unfortunate.

Lastly, we have been teaching G how to attract the lady babies with a wink and a smile.

Some things I've learned from the first weeks of motherhood...

1)  Finger nails are dangerous.  His are sharp, mine are too long and it has been detrimental to us both. 

2)  One can NEVER have enough changing pad covers, especially when learning how to change diapers.   

3)  Going out in the afternoon takes a whole morning of strategic planning.  I've yet to leave my house in the morning, so I am still trying to figure out what must happen if I want to get myself and baby out the door before 11am.  Start getting ready at 3am?

4)  My days are not busy or productive, and, for the moment, I am OK with that fact. 

5)  The nurses at our pediatrician's office are saints. 

6)  T and I are funny people (at least to each other) when sleep deprived. 

7)  I will drop everything to see my son making cute or funny faces.

One month, already!?!

Oh, friend - your little sweet boy is ridiculously cute. I mean, really.

CONGRATULATIONS on making it through the first month. It only gets better!

(I love the "wink" picture, too. Clearly someone gets their manly game from his Daddy...) :)

Wonderful reflections!! He is adorable in every sense of the word. Beautiful eyes, smooth skin, perfect baby face. I wouldn't get much done with him around because I would just want to hold him and stare at him the whole time. :-)

Congrats on getting through month one. They keep changing but you change with them and your heart somehow makes room for more and more love.

Love you friend!

Rumita! He is BEAUTIFUL. Those pictures are amazing. I also loved the winking picture. Was Tim impressed that his son was such a quick learner? hee hee.

You are doing great!

What a beautiful baby boy. . .(I'm allowed to call him beautiful this young, right?) I love the wink picture and the one with T. I'm so glad you are enjoying this adventure!
