one month old!

****

dear finn:

i can't believe it has been one month since you bounded into the world, turned our lives upside down and changed our hearts forever. it has been the best (and sometimes the most challenging!) month of my life. we are so wildly and completely in love with you.



you are starting to grow and grow! all of the sudden you no longer fit into your newborn sized wardrobe and we are moving up to 0-3 months section of your closet (its bittersweet!). just this last week i have noticed that you feel a bit heavier, look a little longer and are getting much stronger! my oh my.



it feels like you are starting to really "see" us. you stick you tongue out at us, make funny noices, and finally maintain long periods of eye contact. it feels so great to interact with you. we are pretty sure that you are on the verge of smiling...what a sweet reward that will be. i can't wait!



you still sleep like a little champion at night...one nice six hour stretch each night for your tired mama. hard to complain about that! you are pretty active during the day, prefer to sleep on someone's shoulder and love having our undivided attention-our little leo :)



your favorite things are eating, bath time, laying on your changing table and anything to do with your daddy. you could just stare at him for what seems like hours. it is as if you are mystified and obsessed with him at the same time. he is pretty wacky with you and you just eat it up. you love daddy's voices and i think you feel really comfy and safe when he holds you. watching the two of you together is like christmas morning.


as for us, our favorite thing is you. every little bit.

love, mama and daddy
