First Month Milestones

Tomorrow you will be 6 weeks old. You are already so strong and independent. I can tell that you will crawl and walk early. You are already able to stand up on my stomach and put your full weight on your legs. All the books say you aren't supposed to do this until 3 or 4 months. I'm still learning your cries and noises. You have begun to make lots of coos, coughs, grunts and gurgles. The sound of your little voice is heaven. It's like no other sound I've ever heard.

You have already had many first experiences and travels. We've been to a movie, bookstores, a community pride event, Mariposa, the river, Delhi, Mommy & Me, and to visit friends many times. Whenever we go out you seem to sleep the best, and I secretly enjoy how much attention you get from people. Everyone remarks how beautiful you are.

Today we went to our first Mommy & Me class and I realized that you are a very long baby! You are going to be tall like your dad. Long legs, arms, fingers and toes. Maybe you will be a runner, just as long as you are not running away from me.

Last week we visited Mariposa and you spent almost the entire time in Grandma's arms. I took many pictures of you so you will remember this day. You also had your very first shower with Grandma & Grandpa helping. You apparently loved it and just soaked your toes in the warm water.
