Tooter Bug is 1 Month Old

Man, it seems like just yesterday I woke up at 2:00 am to discover that my water had broke.  I cannot believe how much my angel has changed since the very first moment I laid my eyes on him.  Not a moment passes that I do not thank God for Holden and cherish every moment that I get to spend with him.  I am really enjoying my time with him, we have bonded in such a way as a family that I cannot explain it.  I'm so very thankful for the 3 weeks that Chuck stayed home with us.  This was a very important time for father and son; and now, I continue to be amazed at how much love one man can have for such a small little tooter.  Chuck is an amazing daddy, Holden or H2 as Chuck has started to call him, loves him very much.

It's hard to imagine that just a few short weeks ago we brought Holden home.  How he started out sleeping in the pack n play, within arms reach of us and has moved into sleeping in his nursery.  Although he is not always going to sleep as easily as he did those first few weeks I would not trade one second of having him sleep on my chest until he wonders into blissful sweet dreams.  He is still eating really well and is so alert during the day now.  He reacts to certain noises and sights and he is always bright eyes when daddy gets home.

Bath time is always interesting.  We started giving him a bath at night with the bedtime bath, we've found that it helps calm him and assist us in getting him to sleep.  BUT, not until we have the screaming match when we first set him in his tub.  Man, that little toot has some lungs.  It only takes a few minutes for him to calm down, but you would think we were beating him the way he screams at first.

And walks, man, he loves going anywhere in the car seat.  For a ride in the car or for a walk in the stroller.  We've been going almost every day since the weather is so nice.  I love getting out of the house too.  Fresh air does us both well.

Well, I've got to go be a mommy now.  Tooter does not stay asleep for long during the day anymore.  Need to attend to him now.

I'll end with this, I never knew a love like this.  I never knew how much it hurt to think about me not being with him or not being able to care or provide for him.  My heart is so full when I am near him and I think about him all the time.  I am so very blessed to be his mommy and I pray that he grows up knowing how much he is loved and adored.  Mommy loves you baby boy, you are my angel baby.
