Summertime Beach Bum

4/27/18 Today you are 1 month old! This month flew by as mommy and daddy were learning about you. You love going on walks each night with mommy, daddy, gma and puppy. You love being held- in fact you cry as soon as we put you down. You typically don’t enjoy the bouncy seat or the swing but you do like sitting right up when we hold you. When it comes to bath time you always get startled at first, but then  enjoy it. You learned your “pouty face” and have just started smiling. You just outgrew newborn clothes and are now into size 0-3. When it comes to sleeping you have no problem falling asleep against mommy but your bassinet is still a work in progress. You enjoy shopping with mommy and gma quick. You also went on your first adventure with mommy and daddy to a few waterfalls and a castle. You do well at holding your head up minus a few head butts we all get. We all love you so much and can’t wait to keep watching you learn and grow.

Monday evening the pressure and pain was awful and starting to become more than i could handle. Through tears i decided it was time to get an epidural.
