Hard to believe but today marks the one month birthday of our favorite little bug, Felix Augustus!
It has been an amazing first four weeks spent getting to know and to snuggle this little guy. We can't get enough of him, so much so that I have even admitted to D, more than once, that I miss him when he's taking a long nap...even when said nap is much needed by both Felix and me. Like I said, I can't enough of him and his sweetness. He's the bees knees, and we're still settling into the notion that we get to keep him. Man, we feel so lucky!
Some highlights from his first month include:
He gained over two pounds and one and a half inches in length at his two week pediatrician appointment (the doc said that those numbers are proof that the nursing is going very well and Felix and his mama are a really good team. Amen!)
He started smiling at us a little the other day (chin caresses help).
We have discovered that our boy loves a good, sudsy bath. He especially likes to wear a sudsy beard so he can be like his dad!
He also loves a stroll around the neighborhood when the dang heat isn't record-breaking. Like me, he's not a fan of the heat. We like ourselves a temperate climate.
Also, Felix has given the stamp of approval to all of his grandparents. They have visited and Felix thinks they are all very nice and good at holding him, something he enjoys very, very much.
Happy One Month Birthday, Felix!
May the longtime sun shine upon you.
More soon, friends. Stay tuned for a little something special later in the week.
Be well out there,
L.
