baby c: one month

i cannot believe my little man is one month old! where did the time go? how is it even possible that one month has gone by?

this has been the most incredible month of my life.  i have loved in a way that i never knew was possible.  i am head over heals for a little man in diapers, and fell in love all over again with my husband.  the way he took care of me during labor and delivery, and then watching him be a father to our son gives me a thousand new reasons to love him even more. 

our little man is absolutely the most wonderful baby in the world.  he has the sweetest disposition, and every one who meets him can't stop saying how beautiful he is!  here is a little re-cap of our little man's first month:

:: C weighed 6 pounds 11 ounces at birth, and dropped down to 6 pounds while we were at the hospital
:: he was a great at breastfeeding from day one!  sometimes he would grunt and throw his arms around while sleeping/eating, so daddy said he was dreaming about mauling boobies (i'm pretty sure that is a slightly editted line from the hangover)
:: Daddy calls him Prince
:: he mastered rolling over to his side at one week old.  Then started rolling from his stomach to his side at three weeks.  this definitely wasn't something he did intentionally, and once he rolled over he wasn't happy that he couldn't get back.  not to mention, this really kind of scared mom!!  Dad's campaign to put you in the crib and get you out of our room was over.  we would rather have him in our sight the on his tummy.  call it first time parents excessive worrying ;o)
:: he slept the best being swaddled.
:: he grunts and groans... A LOT.  no one told us little babies made this much noise.
:: he has been compared to the baby on the Pamper's box quite a few times.
:: all of our Oregon family came down to visit you during the first week.  they fell in love with him instantly!
:: he took his first bottle at 10 days, so Mommy and Daddy could go on a date night!!
:: he smiles in his dreams, but not for us... yet
:: he favors his puppy wubbanub to all other binkies
:: he has already had three doctors appointments.  one for his circumcision which he did awesome at!! Mommy, on the other hand was a wreck!!
