     I can't believe how fast you are growing and changing.  Sometimes you look more like a little boy than a baby.  Last week you sucked your thumb for the first time.  It must have found its way in there by accident because I haven't seen you do it since then.  Last night you slept in your crib for the first time.  We put you to bed at 10:45p.  At 4a I got up to go to the bathroom and thought that you would wake  up any minute to eat.  So I just went into your room and fell asleep in the recliner and woke up at 5a.  You started to fuss a little so I got you up to feed you.  I didn't think you were ever going to get up.  I don't know if that means you officially slept through the night, but it's pretty close to me. 
     You're not a big fan of your carseat so far.  You pretty much cry every time we put you in it.  I really hope you get over that soon.
     I'm taking you to Training Table tomorrow with Kristi and Toby.  it will be your first trip to a restaurant.  I'm a little nervous but I'm hoping that you'll be a good boy.
     I love you so much and you make me so happy!

     You are a month old today, I can't believe it.  We finally got to bring you home on July 20th.  You have been so much fun.  You are definitely a poop monster.  You like to wait until we take your diaper off to poop.  And we've learned that you are quite talented at projectile poop.
     We had you circumcised yesterday.  I was really worried about it.  I honestly felt like we were torturing you for no reason.  We weren't brave enough to stay in the room to watch.  But when we came back to you, you were sound asleep.  So I felt so much better.  However, you are now able to pee like a fountain.
     You get cuter and cuter every day and your personality starts to show more and more every day.
Love-
Mom
