One month ago today I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy. I became a mother. On one hand, I cannot believe that he is a month old already. On the other hand, I cannot believe that he is only a month old. It feels like he has been with me forever. Someone once said "Children are your heart walking around outside of your body." So very true. I never realized how much I could love someone until I had him. Here are some things I want to remember about Riley being one month old.
- You love to be cuddled, snuggled, and held close. You cry whenever I put you down and secretly I love the fact that I'm the only one who can comfort you.
- You love to eat. It doesn't matter if it's from the bottle or breast, you're very much in love with eating.
- Your hair is a reddish, brown, almost coppery orange color. I have no idea where you get that from.
- Youe eyes are dark blue. I'm secretly hoping they change to green like your daddy's or hazel green like mine.
- You won't sleep unless you're right beside me, all snuggled up.
- You are wearing size 3 month clothes and cannot fit into your newborn clothes anymore.
- You are wearing size 1 diapers.
- You nap like a champ in your car seat, especially when you're sitting in restaurants.
- You have a love/hate relationship with your pacifier. Rarely will you take it, but when you do, you love it.
- I love your little toes.
- I love how when I hold you and feed you, you get so peaceful and content that you will fall asleep, mouth wide open, milk dripping out, and smile your toothless grin at me.
Riley - One month old
