1 Month Old




My darling baby boy, everyone told me that time was going to fly by and my goodness they were right.
Since you've been home we've certainly had our ups and downs but when I look back on the past month I only feel happiness.
Pure happiness!

Fav moments (so far!):
our first bath together

watching you shower w/daddy, you had a look of pure contentment on your face

our first family stroll around the neighborhood *thank you winter time for this spring like weather!

when you peed all over yourself...onesie, face & hair! You were so confused and although it broke my heart it was the cutest moment

the third Sunday of your life we stayed in bed all day watching tv and just hanging out as a family

our first real outing with your Auntie Carlz...we had lunch and went grocery shopping at Fresh Market and you were a trooper

lunch with your papi (grandfather) at North Harbor Club

anytime you laugh or cry in your sleep...it's freaking hilarious


Likes:
eating
bathing but only w/mommy or daddy
dancing
laying on your back on your fuzzy nursery rug
car rides for oh about the first half hour
the sound of the vacuum
when daddy carries you around the house like a choo-choo
your butt patted (thanks Kim for figuring this out for us)
being swaddled
a clean diaper
sleeping on mommy
rocking in your glider
laying in your boppy
staring at the ceiling
your paci
your head and cheeks rubbed

dislikes:
yawning
pooing or passing gas
sleeping in your bassinet
having your diaper changed *you are getting much better at the last 2 :)
car rides, typically on the way home
being ignored

Also you look just like your daddy and I love it!

side note: the '1' in the photos was purchased at Michael's and painted with 2 different shades, one glitter, one satin, of turquoise Martha Stewart all-purpose paint.

William Everett Diaz-Llaneza

Our baby boy was born exactly two weeks before his due date on 12.18.2011.
I should start with his sweet birth story but to sit down and write it requires a bit of time. And time, my friends, is something I have very little of these days.
It's coming though and soon before I forget any of the little details.

Until then I want to write. I want to write to help me remember all the sweet moments that are happening on a daily basis.


Like today my Willie and I took our third bath together. Yes, together. His plastic hand-me-down tub doesn't stay warm and he hated it.
The next day I read somewhere about a mom bathing with her babe and after some research, to make sure this was safe, we ended up in the tub together.
I placed a towel on the bottom of the tub, filled it with water just high enough so that I can hold his sweet head above while his bottom dangles beneath. He loves it! I love it.
He hates when it's time to get out...back into the big cold world.
So today we stayed in the tub until all the water had drained. I just sat there holding you wrapped all snug up in your hooded bear towel. At one point I heard sucking motion and when I glanced down you were sucking on your little thumb. It was such a sweet moment.
One I vowed then and there to never forget.

I so adore this baby boy.
