Month 1

Well Rowan, you are a month old. I can't believe how quickly the time is already going by and how much you have grown. Although I wish you could stay a baby forever, it is exciting to see all the changes as they happen. Your temperament is very sweet and you are a very good baby. Your dad and I both love you very much and really enjoy everything about you.

You are sleeping more through the night which is nice for us and you nurse like a champ. You've started to smile (which is the coolest thing ever) and you make cute cooing noises. You love to sleep on your Dad's chest - I really think sometimes that is your favorite place ever. You get gassy when I eat beans so I have to cut back on those (which is a bummer since it's one of my favorite foods) but don't worry - you are worth all of it!

Everyone tells us how advanced you are - you lift your head and shoulders up already and are very alert and love to take the world in. I think you'll be a very inquisitive and curious person when you grow up.
