:: One Month Of Blessings ::

One month old already, and WOW is all I can say, does time fly. From the first moment until now there have been so many wonderful times and blessings with our little Brogan. This has truly been one of the most wonderful times of my life... trying... new...

....and wonderful.

There have been so many things you don't think of through the 9 months of pregnancy, things like how many diapers they really DO go through, and that they are actually helpless. You'd never know how bad you would feel for them when they get that first cold, and they can't blow their nose (much less suck a pacifier and breath at the same time :( poor Brogan ). Thankfully we are done with that though, although found out I am quite the worry wart!But then they start to grow, and do things on their own, like rolling over and holding up their heads! Its been so cool to watch him learn. He is beginning to coo and "talk" to us a lot! He's very alert now and notices peoples familiar faces and loves to watch them and interact with them. He's also liking his tummy time a lot and really surprised me when he rolled over! What a strong boy! As far as toys go, his baby gym, and swing are OK for about 10 minutes, then I think he gets over stimulated with the baby gym's colors and patterns, and just isn't a fan of his swing all together yet.

When we went to his one month baby visit, he got the stamp of approval from the doctor! His new stats are:

9lbs 6 oz

23 in long

39cm- head
:: BIG and HEALTHY ::

What a change from when we left the hospital! He was 7lbs 6 oz when he was born, and when we left the hospital he weighed 6lbs 15 oz. Thats a weight gain of over 2 lbs!!! and about 4 inches!! I guess we don't have to worry about him starving! He's such a good baby and eats so well (to well sometimes, he likes to gulp it down,and sometimes eats a little to fast and it comes back up!).

Night time has been good too! Mom is so happy! If we can all time it right, Brogan sleeps for about a good 6 hour period at night, and most nights so do I. This has been a real blessing for me. The adjusting to his schedule has really taken some getting used to, but were thankful aside from the few nights he's decided to eat every hour and a half, that those were mostly kept to the minimum.

Everyone is getting along with Brogan great, and loves on him as much as possible! Morgann (my younger sister) has been a HUGE help throughout this adjustment period. She snuggles and watches him anytime I need, which is really nice when we have quick trips to the store for diapers or just a quick get away. Both Grandparents have been a blessing to have. If its a babysitter, or just a listening ear for worrying or to get new parent advice from we wouldn't have made it through this month without you! Its been so much fun to see all the aunts and uncles with their reaction to Brogan's birth. Its really brought all of us a lot closer! Even the pets, Fabio and Elnah at my house, and Sheeba, and Karl have all taken the transition really well! They love to sniff him. Fabio thought he was a play toy and got really excited! And Elnah isn't to sure about him yet but loves to snuggle with me and him for a "cat nap" the three of us, and I have even caught her trying to find a way to jump into the crib, but settles for snuggling underneath it.

Brogan has so many expressions and arm movements and coo's and different cries and I am beginning to understand and learn what they mean. It's so much fun, and there is something new everyday. Buddy has been such a help. I would never have been able to do this without him. He loves Brogan sooooo much, I have never seen someone more in love with their son. I have many times woken up from taking a nap and found the two of them laying on the couch snuggling together taking a nap of their own, and can't help but smile as I fall in love with the two of them all over again. We are going to miss him so much when he goes to play football for a couple months, but can't wait for all the games and new and exciting adventures this will bring for our little family, and we'll be waiting for the day we are all back together again! TOUCHDOWN DADDY'S TEAM!!God has a reason for everything and a Perfect plan. I am so excited to see what the up coming months bring for Buddy, Brogan and my lives. Thank you everyone for being a part of this AWESOME experience. We Love you all!!
