One Month

With disbelief I write this post - the lil'nutmeg is already one month old today! We are starting to all get used to each other I think. The Lorax still calls you "our baby from the hospital" and apparently that stuck with her - she drew this picture this week of me, still pregnant.

But on to the "birthday" boy - since you've been born there has been an earthquake, a hurricane / tropical storm, a week without power, and many moments where Dan and I just look at each other and ask "Did Lorelai do this? Was Lorelai like that?" So much of these early days are blur - I try so hard not to compare you to your sister!
A lot of the time you enjoy being like this:

On your belly, trying to suck your thumb (left hand! are you going to be a lefty like mom?)

A lot of the time you also do this:

So serious. And we're seriously in love.

So does Lorelai think you grabbed some other baby at the hospital, and you're still carrying around her real brother or sister? That's hilarious. I love how kids' minds work!

And I love love love The Real Nate (sorry Lorax) -- such an expressive little face, gah!

They are both just beautiful.

You have beautiful children!

I am still amazed by all of that baby hair! :)
