Leland turned one month old today!!! Yes, it went by pretty fast. I can't believe just a month ago he was still in Mommy's tummy. And now here is, crying, sleeping, crapping, peeing- right in front of our eyes.
We've taken a picture of him everyday so far, and you can totally see the changes. For one thing, he's defintely eating better as you can see he's getting bigger. His eyes are starting to focus in on us better as well, as he can recognize Mommy and her boobs and my bald head.
But one thing that hasn't changed is he's still our party animal: up all night! A good night is him waking up twice, which happens maybe two or three times a week. Other days, he's up almost every hour for feedings, diaper changing, or because Mommy & Daddy are snoring too loud. Definitely something you cannot plan or prepare for.
Its funny going through the roller coaster of emotions. One minute you're staring at your offspring with joy, love and amazement. The next minute you're ready to *fill in "very horrible act that you only think about, but would really never do" here*
As stressful and tiring as it has been, we're loving every minute of it. Its something you can't describe until you actually go through it yourself. Everyone will tell you different things about their first parenting experiences, offer suggestions, and even directly tell you what they think is right or wrong. But all babies are different. You just have to be patient and thank God that at least he's crying out loud. Really, you have to cherish every moment of it, because before you know it, he's wiping his own ass.
