one month older

and wiser too! happy one month birthday to you, Roe.

to: monroe

it has been one entire month since you were welcomed into our lives and i can certainly say that we have changed for the better having you around.

the minute you were born was - a relief. you were one entire week late and you daddy and i were so anxious to meet you, hold you and kiss you. i was relieved when they set you on my chest and your breathing calmed and your fever suppressed. i was relieved that you had all of your finger and toes and that your eyes were open and alert. i was relieved to see that you inherited your daddy's dark hair and my blue eyes. most of all i was relieved that pregnancy was over and that life with you HERE with us had started.

today i took you to the doctor and they weighed you in at 11lbs 14oz - we asked for a manchild and that is certainly what we have gotten. you grunt like a little man when you are hungry and obviously you dont skimp around when it comes to eating. you are awake more these days and your daddy and i do everything that we can to get you to interact with us during those hours, but you are still working on that. for now you are good kicking your legs and simply soaking up the world around you.

here is to your first month and to many more joyous months to come.

we love you: mom & dad

That is one ridiculously good looking baby! Remember how you two would talk about how nervous you were about how your kids would look? Yeah, pretty sure you have to worry about him being too good looking now :) and congrats to roe for putting on some pounds!
