We have fallen so in love with you this past month!
Aside from learning how to breath, eat, and see (all things you learned within moments of being born) you have learned that you love to be held. There are times that you will cry and cry, but the moment either me or daddy pick you up you are fine. You dive into a pretty intense cry pretty quickly, but almost as fast as it starts you are able to calm down; usually it's as soon as you feel yourself being lifted into loving arms.
By your month mark you were looking right into peoples faces. Mommy loves seeing you see her. I love looking into your pupils and seeing that you are looking at my face. I feel like it's the beginning of us connecting.
You have rolled over three times, we still aren't convinced they weren't flukes, but you have rolled none the less. You either love or hate tummy time. You either fall right to sleep (love) or cry and kick (hate) and your kicking is what got you to roll over those few times.
You started out tiny, but you are eating like a champ and gaining some good weight. Speaking of eating, mommy (and the nurses in the hospital) were very impressed with how efficiently you eat! While still in the hospital, you would actively eat for maybe 5-10 minutes and be done, but you would be getting a lot of food in that time. It's a rare occasion if you take longer than a half hour to eat, which I think is fast...
You have done a lot of sleeping in the first month of life, but that comes with the territory of being early. You have your moments of not sleeping well through the night, but more often then not you will only wake up 3 times a night. About once a week you will wake up a lot more often then that but we are grateful for the nights that you sleep well.
You are a noisy sleeper, you have already basically been kicked out of mommy and daddy's room because mommy can't sleep with all your grunts and other newborn noises. Maybe once you start sleeping a little more soundly, you will be aloud to sleep in our room again :)
You do boyish things already! You grunt and can belch with the best of them. Daddy already loves treating you like a boy. He will give you (very light) love taps while saying something like "hey man! What's up?". Yesterday when you were very hungry he touched your lips (to get you to open your mouth) and then said "let's see your game face"! He loves having a boy around!
Daddy loves to call you boyish nick-names too! Including, but not limited to, "Bro", "Man" "Dude" and then the basic baby boy names like "Buddy". Mommy likes to call you her "Corbin Boy" and "Bug-a-boo" which is often shortened to "Bug". I think it fits.
We love our little Bug! You are such a good baby and we are so glad to have you around!
Mommy would have loved to have put you in something more than a onsie for these pictures but the tiny little Gerber onesies are the only thing that fits right now!
