1 Month Old: Whose Child Is He?


My precious little boy is over a month now, and I can tell he's getting bigger and heavier and growing up quickly. A part of me wants him to stay little, because I don't know for sure if he's my last baby or not, but a part of me also wants him to get big so I can see who he turns into. He looks far different than I imagined he would look! I'm still puzzled by his golden-brown, almost blond hair and his big bright blue eyes. Where did he come from? Whose child is he? Brad insists that he looks like me, but I have a hard time seeing that. He definitely looks like he could come from Brad's side of the family. I actually think he looks a lot like Scott did when Scott was born. There are some resemblances between him and Lizzy as well, like their noses and puckered lips. The only "me" I see in David are my overlapping toes, although they're long and skinny like Brad's are. Mine are short and stubby.

Baby David has a wonderful personality. He's generally a calm and peaceful baby. He likes to sleep a lot, and he likes to eat when he's awake. He's not much of a crier. In fact, most of the time he gives warning grunts and squeals, just like I did when I was a baby. He only cries when he's had enough and needs food NOW, or if he wants to be held. As a one-month-old, he loves looking at people's faces and gets bored if he's awake and there's no one to look at. He hasn't given me a social smile yet, but I can tell he's getting close. He wants to interact with me. His eyes get BIG when I talk to him or make noises. He's got such pretty blue eyes.
