One Month


My little baby is not so little anymore. At Henrik's one month doctor's visit he weighed in at 11 lbs 2 oz!! What a little tank. Our pediatrician commented on how I must make good milk. :)


The girls sure love their brother. It's been hard to try to get them to treat him like a newborn. Jolie picked him up once and dropped him on the floor. She loves to squeeze his face, hug him around the neck, and give him kisses.


Mierae also loves to pick him up. (I sorely chastised her about it one night when she took him off the couch, raced across the living room, and headed up the stairs. But the next night when he was screaming and my hands were covered in chicken, she picked him up again, and it was helpful.)


Throughout this last month I've had spit up in my hair, urine sprayed in my face, milk leaking onto my clothes, the same pajamas on for three days at a time, laundry coming out of my ears, and a baby in my arms.


And I've loved every minute.

WHAT?!?
One month already? Seriously, where has the time gone?
He is just the cutest little (big) baby ever! No wonder you are having so much fun with him!!
I can just see my kids picking up the twins and dropping them. What fun times. My mom reassures me and tells me that if I survived my siblings, any baby can, so that gives me hope!!

he IS a tank! Look at how much he's grown! I can't believe he's already a month. I can imagine the bittersweet nature of sibling love and attention... glad they haven't given him any serious injuries! and glad that their love is also helpful at times.

Probably not EVERY minute, right? But enough that it makes it all worth it. He's getting so big so fast!

He really does look bigger in these pictures! He's so cute! I wish I could hold him.

He is so precious! I am sure you are enjoying every minute. Just don't blink... #3 goes by super fast. I often get sad when I realize that my Ruth won't be a baby for long...
