time flies

brogyn is one month and one week old. wow. i recall hearing from other mothers how quickly time flies with their newborns and now i understand what they meant. it's actually kind of depressing- he is no longer a newborn, he is a baby. he has progressed so much i can't even believe it. his legs are so strong & he LOVES to jump up & down in my lap. he also loves his tummy time & believe it or not, he rolled from his stomach to his back. he has remarkable neck muscle strength and rarely loses control of his head. he is very alert & is now smiling & cooing with a purpose. i weighed him about a week ago and he was 9lbs, i haven't measured him yet. he is perfect. he is, however, in a little routine of waking up every 2 hours during the night thinking he is so starved he will wither away if he doesn't get fed that instant. it's ok because i love his cry. his hair has lightened a little and in the right sunlight, it has a reddish tint...just like his daddy. he had plenty of hair on the top of his head when he was born, but he has lost it and now has what we refer to as "old man hair" we adore him. i miss him when he's sleeping. i find myself staring at him, waiting for him to wake. we call him slim jim because he is so skinny. his knees are knobby and his arms are long. his double chin has come in quite nicely & he always has a milk mustache. i couldn't love him more.
