Dear Ellery,
It's amazing. You're amazing, really. Earlier this year, when we found out about you, you looked something like this:
An image of a little mouse growing inside of me. That was you, back in early March.
Now look at you:
A month old!
You have grown so much since we first held you in our arms. With your triple chin covering your neck and fat rolls beginning to make their mark on your belly, Buddha Baby has become one of the many nicknames we've been calling you.
At 4 weeks, newborn clothes and diapers no longer fit. And all of the people who say, "They grow up so fast," well, I'm discovering that they're absolutely right!
You are getting more alert everyday, beginning to make eye contact and really focusing in on us, especially when we're singing. You do not like silence. You're calm as long as there is a lot of commotion going on around you, but if you're in a quiet room - you let us know quickly that you disapprove.
You've already got quite a bond with your daddy, young lady. I could sing to you all day long and it wouldn't calm your cranky cries, but as soon as he begins to hum a tune, you immediately quiet and focus all of your attention, so intently, on his mouth as to not miss a note.
Love upon love,
Mommy
