Today is Ashton’s one month birthday. He’s changed so much in a month. He’s grown. He’s gained weight. He’s lost hair. And he is curious about the world. Looking back over the last month, it breaks down pretty much like this:
- Week 1: This breathing thing is new. And the food goes in where?
- Week 2: Wait, the food comes out??
- Week 3: How?
- Week 4: Okay, I’m starting to get the hang of me. What’s with the hairy guy?
- Week 5: Hey, he’s kind of funny.
He stares at everything now. He tries to reach out and grab things. He is awake all day, which means he actually sleeps part of each night. Karina is jealous because Ashton wants to play with daddy — he smiles when I talk to him — but I’m just the “play” parent right now. She’s the Bringer of Life. He looks to her for sustenance and comfort. He won’t sleep for me. We don’t nap together. When Ashton is with his daddy, he expects this monkey to dance.
And that’s cool with me.
