C-U-T-E

Can you believe how cute this little dude is? We didn't take a picture of him during the actual bath. He was still cute but not so happy to be naked and wet. Bath time is very traumatic. As is having a diaper changed, not being fed fast enough, getting dressed, being put in the car seat, being taken out of the car seat, being taken out of the bouncy chair, being taken out of a swaddle, being put in a swaddle, not being swaddled. There is so much drama when you are a month old.
Right now he is starting to stir from a nice nap in his bouncy chair. Ryan put Gavin in the bathroom in his bouncy chair while he took a shower. There is nothing more soothing to him than the sound of the fan, running water and bright lights. It puts him out every time.
I'm going to have to pony up some milk any minute now. Our house has turned into a dairy. I'm the cow. Would that make me a heifer?
The little G-man, as Ryan calls him, is one month old today. We can't imagine our lives without him and he's only been here one month. It feels like so much longer but maybe that's because I carried him inside of me for 9 months. He is already holding his head up. He usually holds his head up when I put hold him against my chest. He knows food is nearby.
OK, gotta go. Time to feed my sweet pea.

So cute! Hope things will become less traumatic as time goes by for the little one. Keep posting pictures of him, it's nice to see him, even though just through pictures and not in real life. He's got long fingers! Maybe he'll play the piano...

Thanks again for the email!

You have a beautiful son. It is hard for me to believe its been a month and I'm all the way over here. It must be especially hard to believe over there.

Best wishes!

Gavin is a very, very cute boy! He looks happy in the picture ;-) He is also very alert in the picture, maybe he wants to play
;-)

You gave us a very good idea regarding the shower... Hmmm. We'll try that next time, although she doesn't cry very often. But when either of us is in the shower, and she loses shight of us for a few minutes, then she gets fussy!

Very cute boy!
