One month!

Now I understand why people say "where does the time go?!".......

Our wonderful son is now 1 month old!  And what a month it has been for the Wang family.

Being a first time parent is tough stuff.  When we brought Kellan home from the hospital, I was scared to death.  Would he sleep?  Would he eat?  Would he know that I am his mama?  Would I be any good at being his mama?  Would I ever get a good night sleep ever again?  My mom stayed with us for many days, thankfully, and stayed up many nights with Kellan so that I could get rest and heal from my surgery.  When I was finally able to physically care for him, he would be up all night crying, and nothing I did would comfort him.  He would cry, I would cry, and wonder if he even liked me, or knew that I was his mama.  Talk about self-doubt.

We are finally getting to know each other, and even though we have issues with sleeping still, I know that when he stares into my eyes, he knows I am his mama.  We take walks around the house, listen to music (he loves Coldplay!), read lots of books, watch "Friends" reruns.  He is becoming so animated in his facial expressions, and it seems like he is always on the verge of a smile!  His neck is getting so strong, and he loves tummy time.  He likes to lay in the middle of the Boppy, or in his bouncy chair, and just look around at the scenery in our living room. 

His 1 month checkup is in a few days, and I can't wait to see how much he has grown.  He is finally filling out his newborn clothes!  I am actually a little sad that he is getting big.  I am trying to enjoy this time, because it is going quicker than I am ready for.
