Levi Wade at One Month

Levi Wade at One Month

• 9.03.2012

Levi turns one month old today.  It's been a whole month since that special day in the hospital when my baby boy was born!  I would relive that moment over and over again if I could.  Life has been a blissful blur.  The month blew by so fast!  I knew it would.  It leaves me with a lump in the back of my throat knowing that Levi is a day older, a few ounces bigger... I wish I could put time on pause because I'm not quite ready to let this newborn stage go; it's too fleeting.  My baby should always fit so snugly in the crook of my arm, shouldn't he?  Luckily, I have Jed and I know what comes next.  As much as I'll miss my baby as a newborn, I can't wait to be a part of those precious firsts: first belly laugh, first taste of real food, first steps, and best of all, first time sleeping through the night!

Levi, I knew I would love you before you were born, but I wasn't prepared for you to steal my heart the way you have.  You are the perfect little addition to our family.  I can't imagine life without you now; I love you so much! 

A little about Levi in his first month:

::  He is so sweet!  And good-natured. 

::  He is attached to his momma.  (Consequently, I am smitten and wrapped around his tiny pinky finger.)

::  His smile is funny and adorably cute.

::  He sleeps best with his head on my chest, just above my heart.

::  His eyes captivate me.  His coos melt my heart.

Levi is totally a keeper.
