today, you are 4 weeks old.
you are the absolute light of my life. you're a tough one, and i've asked many a mom advice on how to best make you happy, but i wouldn't trade you for the world.
at first, you hated almost everything this world had to offer. now, i can change your diaper without you crying. you thoroughly enjoy your swing and if i'm holding you when i turn it on, you hear the music and start blinking your eyes very slowly. i can tell a difference between your sleepy cry and your tummy hurting cry. you still love to be swaddled, although you sometimes put up a fuss when your arms get tucked in. if you could have it be, you would keep your hands in fists under your chin at all times. you look especially sweet that way. you have started smiling at me and cooing. we have great conversations on the boppy after you eat. you are definitely most happy then. i am most happy then, too. you, of course, love outside! to make that even easier, you love riding around in the jogging stroller. i anticipate many lovely walks in our future.
i really enjoy being your mama and watching your daddy with you. he treats us both very well. i get up with you during the night to feed you. he always gets up with you around 8 and lets me sleep for another hour or more. you've started sleeping in your room upstairs but don't worry, i have a video monitor so i can see you any time i want to! you love it up there and since i moved in the noisy fan (thanks aunt jenny!) you seem to want to be there even more.
i am very proud of you and can't believe you'll be 1 month old in just a few days! i think i'll cry then. i love you, michael david. what sweet joy you give me!
sigh...
you in your beloved swaddle & swing!
you smile and smile at me until i get out the camera. i guess you are so fascinated with that big black thing in your face that you can't think about me anymore...
i'm gonna call this the pattern picture. you were so content to lay in your boppy on my paisley chair, with your striped blanket and striped socks, i just couldn't move you! :)

oh my gosh! he already looks so much bigger! Really, really enjoy these moments, even though they are pulling-your-hair-out stressful at times they are so rewarding! Moms told me all the time how fast it goes by and I can't begin to say how true that is. Its like a flash. Just treasure it. Love you guys!
