Come and gone...
Our Bigfoot’s first month has come and gone!
Bigfoot, you are amazing! Daddy and I love you more and more each day and love getting to know you better! You are such a wonderful baby boy!
This month:
-You’ve met so many family members and friends - Grandparents, Uncles, Aunt, Great Grandparents, Great Aunt, Mama and Daddy’s friends, and some of Mama and Daddy’s friends kids :)
-You went to your first live Mass and did sooo good :D
-We are mostly getting the hang of nursing - only time, practice, and Our Lord will help us get better :)
-You have gained all the weight you lost in the hospital right on time - and some!
-You love car rides.
-Your umbi fell off :D
-You had your very first Fourth of July!
-You like being sat up
-Your daddy has become a professional swaddler
-You love falling asleep on daddy when he gets home from work or in the middle of the night (we try to watch/limit the nighttime ones)
-haha you’ve peed on Mama a couple times - I’m still trying to get better at preventing this occurrence lol
-You love looking around
-You definitely have had one growth spurt since you’ve been home
-You still get hiccups (not as much as while in the womb)…sometimes you don’t mind them and sometimes they annoy you and make you unhappy
-Your baby legs and arms are sooo strong - I’m thinking you might walk before you crawl ;) haha
-Lily has been so great with you - can’t wait till you start interacting with our family pup.
-You had your first tub bath…I promise I’ll get better at giving you baths and keeping you warm! :D
-You spent a lot of time with your Nonna and Nana. They love you so much!
-Mama and Daddy *love* snuggling with you
-You love being swaddled
-Daddy comes home everyday during lunch to see you (and me, of course ;))
-You found your hands and have no idea what to do with them
-When you sneeze you get this stunned look on your face that makes us giggle
-Your g’night/nap lullaby is Hail Mary, Gentle Woman
-You become more and more alert as each day passes!
-You are an OK fan of tummy time. Tummy time only lasts for a couple minutes before you get fussy.
-And you smile when you are falling asleep - this is definitely a favorite <3
