Dear Hunter // One Month




I can't believe it. You're already one month old. This last month has gone by way too fast. I catch myself staring at you constantly and wishing I could stop time. I cry every single time I think about returning to work and not being able to be with you all day long to see the new things you learn and the sweet things you do. I will miss our cuddles and naps together. I want you to stay so little, and yet I'm so excited for the years to come. Who are you going to be? What will you like doing?

You are so beautiful. I couldn't have made a more perfect human being myself. You look so much like your daddy. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I think back to being pregnant and how much I hated it most days, but I would do it all over again. It's amazing to think that it was you in there all along kicking me and getting all those hiccups. When you stretch, you stick your little booty out, and now I know what you were doing when it felt like you had just balled up in one spot in my belly. It was just your little bum!

I love sleeping next to you at night, and waking up to your cute face in the morning. People say it's unsafe, but you love being close to me and I love to be close to you. I think at this point I need it more than you do now. You are getting so strong during tummy time. You can hold your head up so well. Your hands are always by your face or in your mouth, just like every ultrasound. When you're awake, you're so alert, looking all over the place. I love these moments.

Although, we've had some tough times these last couple weeks, I wouldn't change them for anything. You have colic fairly bad. It makes my heart break to see you uncomfortable, but I take pride in being the one that can make you feel at least some relief sometimes. I'm hoping things will ease up sooner than the average three to four months that babies usually have it though! You are getting much better at not screaming during every diaper change as well, which is nice!

You are officially 10 lbs 8 oz and 22 1/2 inches long. You are growing like a weed!

LOVES // tummy time, your mobile in your crib, being rocked, eating, the sound of water running, being held, your hands, being swaddled, cuddling, and looking all around

HATES // the swing, being in the car seat (sometimes you'll do okay, other times you'll scream for miles), baths unless I take you in the shower with me, and being naked in general


I love you more than I thought was ever possible. You are my whole entire world.
