Baboon!

My little guy is over a month old now! Every time I turn around he gets bigger. I know people always say they grow up so fast, but geeeez! He already doesn't do some of the things he did before...balling up the fists by his head all the time, smacking his lips when he is finish eating... I just want to document this all for him and for me before it is lost forever!

this is pretty much the only way he'll stay asleep during the day. I don't mind too much :D

miss you grandma

This one is evidence of his goalkeeper/preacher move- when he's asleep he'll all of the sudden raise his hands up for a second like he is catching a goal in a soccer game or a preacher saying "hallelujah!" He also makes the most adorable lamb noise in his sleep that cracks us up.

aaaand 5 minutes later. Crying, but still cute.

His head is getting bigger, when we brought him home his little head kept flopping all over in uncomfortable looking positions, now it usually does ok.

We're going to bless him the first sunday in July!
We also nicknamed him "baboon" because of a rather large birthmark called a mongolian spot (they're purple). I'll let you guess where it is. This is going to be a GREAT story to tell his girlfriends later.
