One Month and Counting

I can't believe that Evan is already a month old. It does not seem like it was a month ago, but then again it seems like it was forever ago when I was in the hospital. However, it has probably been the hardest month in my life. It is getting better!

It has been so amazing to watch as Evan grow and change over this past month. He now weighs over 10lbs and seems to gain 5oz daily...not really, but it feels like it! He does not have trouble eating.

We have learned to let Evan sleep in his car seat at night for now since he will not sleep in the cradle. He is such a loud sleeper!!! But I have learned to tune it out.

I have been really surprised how much Evan loves taking a bath!! He will just lay there and seems so content. I am glad that is not something I have to battle with.

Developmentally Evan has amazed me!!! He has found his hands and will hold them together while eating. He can lay on his tummy and push himself up and turn his head from side to side. He has shown that sweet smile a few times, but we are still working on that. He also discovered his voice..he now cries really loud. I can't wait until his sweet personality is revealed more and more!!!

Jason and I have learned that parenthood is not possible without the help of God. I have learned that in all times I must trust that he will give me the motivation for each day.

I am so excited about this weekend...we are going home for the first time!! Evan will get to meet lots of new people!!!
