One Month Old

Bodie Bo, Bodie Blue, Bodie-Odie-O...you are one month old already! Happy 1/12th of your birthday! You are such a happy baby - you smile when daddy lets you jump off of him or when i give you loud kisses. you rarely cry but you often grunt. you have many different grunts- your hungry grunt, your nursing grunt, your middle of the night grunts, your "moby" grunts, your happy grunts...i am stilll learning them all and still studying which ones can be left alone and which need attention! for the most part, you are happy to sit with me in the office and keep me company while i do terribly boring stuff like taxes. you are strong too - you can hold your head up for a long time and are liking to use your legs a lot! you are a great eater and like to eat every 2 hours during the day, but you give me a break at night (thanks for that by the way) and go for 4 hour stretches usually. you are growing out of control - you are wearing 3-6 month clothes, size 2 diapers - size medium in cloth, and you almost are too big for your moses basket. you are starting to look a lot like daddy especially when you make your serious face - the one with the one eyebrow - the one you made right when you were born and looked at us with your sweet face for the first time. your big brother loves you and is such a great helper - he always wants to help give you a bath and get your diapers for me and smother you with kisses. today he tried to cheer you up with his "sticky sticky bubblegum" song...we can't imagine our world without you and are enjoying you in our lives tremendously. you are such a blessing and there is nothing i enjoy more these days than watching you and staring into your sweet face.
