Isaac One Month

Dear Isaac, 

You are one month old and are just the best thing ever.  The first month has been somewhat of a blur and has gone so quickly, yet I can't even imagine our life without you.  You are just the cutest little thing.  You have a full head of hair, although I think the top of it may be thinning out.  Let's hope you don't lose that part and look like an old man.  You'll still be ridiculously cute even if you do!  You have grey eyes and we love them.  We wonder if they'll change color in the next few months.  

You are a pretty content baby.  You don't cry much at all.  You make a lot of noises, but more grunting and little sounds instead of crying.  You love being held, but are also content for a little while on the floor staring at the ceiling.  You mostly sleep being held during the day, usually in the wrap.  When I set you down in the swing you usually wake up right away.  We'll work on that one someday! 

At night you've gone three hours, often once during the night.  Then it's all up in the air! Most of the time you've slept in the rock n play because you do best in there.  The first week at home I slept with you on the recliner so we could get some sleep!  

You poop all. the. time.  I forgot how much babies poop! You're a good eater, but spit up quite a bit. You eat really fast, I think because my milk comes out so fast so you don't really have a choice! Hopefully that will get better soon.  You've started smiling at us and it is so cute!  I can't wait until you start laughing and responding more to us.  

Your big sister loves you so much!  It's been a big transition for her and we've had some rough days, but she has never once been rough or mean to you.  She tells you she loves you a hundred times a day and loves to give you kisses and hugs.  You stare at her and I know you love her too! 
You've met a lot of people that love you and we are so lucky to have all of our family around.  You get to grow up with all of your cousins and grandparents and aunts and uncles and they all are crazy about you.  
I can't tell you how happy you make my heart, and I could not love you more.  I am so glad you are here.  
Love, 
your mom
