It's hard to believe that one month has already flown by with our little guy. The one word that sticks out to me this month is... different. Life has been different this time around. Maybe it's because we knew (more of) what to expect. Maybe it's because we are being more flexible. Maybe it's God showing us His awesome power through His creation. It's a combination of so many things, but we are thankful for our sweet blessing. Some of the differences I've noticed... Gavin spits up a whole lot more than Miriam, changing boy diapers is way more difficult, sleeping more at night...thanks to the little guy for going longer between feeds, taking him on more outings (did you see his picture in the Stanley Cup??...need I say more??), adjusting better to life as a family of four than we did as a family of three, and the list goes on. Although there are many differences, one thing remains the same. We thank God daily for our precious family.
At one month, you...
weigh 10 pounds
measure 22 1/2 inches
love cuddling with Mommy & Daddy
like watching Big Sister & hearing her sing
enjoy riding in your car seat
This picture makes me smile and sums up life right now. One child is typically happy, loving life while the other one is crying and in need of some attention. Miriam has adjusted well and is a great big sister. She loves being my helper, letting me know when Gavin is crying, and giving lots of kisses, hugs, and high fives. They already have a special bond, and I know they will be great friends as they grow.
