{A Month of Ian}

Can we really be celebrating a month of life with our boy? Time is a funny thing. Already, we are putting away small clothes, changing from sleeping basket to crib.

It has been such a beautiful, strange month. One of interrupted sleep, piles of laundry, diaper changes, celebrations of firsts, baby smells, laughter, new identities, snuggle upon snuggle upon snuggle, learning, joy and an abundance of love.

The post-partum period is a fuzzy thing. I apologize for the lack of photos of our Wunderkind to his faraway, beloved relatives, including many, many honorary uncles and aunts. Here are a plethora of pixelated Ians... May they show his growing personality and the pure wonder of this new little human. 

The Dutchman and I are enamoured with our gift from God. Pippin-cat? Not so much... 

The 1st month of:

Ian

- is most talkative in the morning

- knows what he wants!

- likes to dream about eating

- enjoys peeing in his bath and is creative in other mess making... keeps us on our toes already!

 - slept four hours one night... here's to many more!

- is already the best of travellers

- the changing table is his happy place

- has gained 4 lb./1.8 kg. since birth

- makes sounds like a baby pterodactyl at times

- has about 27 nicknames to date

- is beginning to smile and enjoy small games

- is simply... the best

Just a wee bit milk drunk
