Dear Evan,
Happy Birthday!!!
You have changed my life so much. I look at you and I can't believe you are mine. We have had no problems breast feeding. You love to eat! This week you started what your Daddy likes to call "a rogue scream". You will be laying quietly and all of the sudden you scream and then go quiet once again. Your lung capacity has increased! We are trying to learn what this means. So-far we do not know. We are all learning to know all about each other. These are precious times. I keep telling myself that these times are going to go by so quickly so I just take each day in the best I can. I rarely take my eyes off of you!
This was our first week home by ourselves you and me. We have had either Daddy or a visitor here up until now. We are starting to get our routine going. You love to look out our bedroom window. I am not sure what you see out there but it fascinates you! I have been reading to you since the first week you were born. You have started to show interest in a pop up book on color. There is a page showing a tiger. You love that page!
It rained all week so we couldn't take walks. Today was the first day it was clear. You, Daddy and I walked to Peet's and back. You slept all the way there and back.
You are getting bigger. We went to the doctor this week (one month check up) and you are now 8 lbs 6 ounces. You did fine with the shot. You screamed but once I was held you-you were fine. Jaundice is still hanging on slightly. We had another test for it but it showed a negative rating. The yellow coloring hangs on in breast fed babies longer.
Daddy can't wait for you to be bigger. He wants to play with you. I am trying to take one day at a time because all of this will fly by and then you will be 18 years old!
