Look Who’s One Month Old!
Posted by: LizzieWhere has this month gone? It seems like just last night that Timothy came barrelling through my birth canal and into our lives. He’s gone from a life of nursing, pooping, and barfing to a life of nursing, pooping, barfing, and staying awake for extended periods of time in order to crack a smile when it suits him.
Ah yes, now we’ve entered a world of change. Just this morning, Timothy made a sound that was almost a coo. It was different from the usual grunts and snorts. We have started calling him Mr. Piggy occasionally. He has no problem letting us know when his diaper needs to be changed or if it’s been more than 20 minutes since he last nursed. How I missed the cluster feeds!
Even in his not-so-happy times, I can’t help but laugh because I know it’s not that bad. Is it because this is my fourth baby that I’m so much more relaxed? Baby language isn’t all that hard for me to interpret anymore. Corey asked me the other day how I knew when Timothy was hungry. I explained the rooting a little bit and he seemed to get it. Not that I’m 100% accurate. There are times when I think he’s hungry and Timothy isn’t interested. But we live & learn.
And yes. I cry sometimes, too.

He is adorable! I guess it does get easier when it is your fourth child, but I can’t imagine managing a whole family during the early months! I am now having a tough time with my second little one while caring for a toddler.

Yes, by Baby #4, those squinchy cry faces are funny as hell, whereas before…well, they just weren’t funny at all
HE is SOOOOO cute!
