One Month Old...

Dear Benjamin,

You're ONE month old and we continue to fall more and more in love with you everyday!  Peter is especially smitten with you and always wants to hold you, comfort you, and is in your personal space on a regular basis.  You are an excellent nurser, but a little on the slow side.  That's fine with me, it's just more time that we get to snuggle up on the couch.  You love your swing, but prefer to be held most of the time.   When it comes to sleeping, you haven't quite figured that out yet.  At first you had your days and nights mixed up, and now you'd just prefer to just sleep in my arms.  The problem is that you are the only one getting good sleep.  So, we've been trying to convince you to sleep in your bassinet...you're slowly coming around.

I feel privileged beyond imagination to be your mom.  You are such a sweet gift to our family, and I adore having a newborn.  God is so very generous to give us you!

All my love,
Mom
