Yesterday Emmory turned one month old. I know that isn't very much time, but I still can't believe he is already that old. The sentimental mama in me keeps thinking, only 11 more of these until he is one, wow, I really need to cherish this time with him. He has already changed so much, he is not the same baby I brought home from the hospital, he really doesn't seem like a newborn anymore. It's definitely been a challenge to cherish the time with him this past month when I feel like I've been in a fog....learning to breastfeed, getting little, broken sleep, just getting the hang of being a mom and having a child to take care of 24-7...I've realized I need to stop focusing on just getting to the point where he is sleeping through the night, and just enjoy him. And he is so enjoyable, he is the most amazing, precious gift and I am so in love with him. I started to compile a list of the things I love about him so far...
I love...
-The way you stare at me with your eyes wide open when I am holding you and talking to you
-The way you reach up and touch my face when I am talking to you
-When you grab my hair
-Your sweet smile
-Your double chin
-The little noises you make when you are ready to eat
-The way you coo when we are laying down playing with your little cow
-How you are the most happy when you are naked
-The face you make when you are on the changing table looking up at me
-The loud noises you make when you eat or suck on your paci
-How you stare at the mobile when you are in your swing
-Your little complaining noises when you are in your bed by yourself falling asleep
-How you love getting a bath and having the water run down your head
-The birthmark on your leg
-How you love to stick out your tongue
-Your precious, smooshed, peaceful face when you are sleeping on your daddy's chest
-The way you bob your head when you are rooting for food
-The way you flail your arms and legs when you are having your alert awake time
-Your dark spiky hair, that you got from me
-Your milk tongue
-The way you smell
-How soft your skin is

aww those are so precious - it will be fun to look back on when he's older...I love baby smell. I still smelled like baby Monday after you guys left. I'll have to come by to get "refreshed". :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun to hear little Emmory is cooing and grabbing your hair! He was just starting to try and do those things when I left - he's really progressing :) I'm glad you are enjoying him more now - as you are healing and feeling better. It just gets more fun! I miss him! Love, Grandma (Namma)
