Carson is a month old. I'm not going to say, "I can't believe he's already a month old!" because I can believe it. It was a long month. Not that that is a bad thing. I sure do love being his mommy.
Here is something I have learned about Carson in the past month--he can lay wide awake for hours! He is perfectly fine with not taking a nap. Once he is fed and changed, he's ready for his day. He'll just look around and lay peacefully...for hours. Honestly. We'll try and try to get him to take a nap. But if he's not ready, he won't. It certainly is frustrating so yesterday I decided it's not worth the fight. And funny enough--I spoke to my mom last night and she informed me I was the same exact way as a newborn. She said it killed her. I'm really glad Cory is here lots to help so I can get a nap in!
Besides Carson's alertness, there are many other things I love so much about him.
-Every time we change his diaper he smiles through the whole thing. He loves it!
-He makes the cutest noises right as he is going to sleep. It's like a constant moan.
-Once he is done eating, he gets this really satisfied face. Then right after he puts on another face as if he is the most awesome baby around town. It cracks me up every time.
-He is great at burping! It is exceptionally loud sometimes. I am astounded such a big noise can come from his tiny little self. It reminds me of the scene on Elf, "Did you hear that?!?"
-When he cries (which is not very often) he has his lips in such a way that it sounds like he is crying out, "MMMA! MMMA!" Cory always says, "He needs you! Save him!" It's the most precious thing.
-His dimple. He's got one. On is right cheek. We love it! We only see it when we're changing his diaper though.
-He sleeps with his eyes just a little bit open. My brother Trevor does this too. It's always creeped me out. But I find it hilarious that he does it just like his Uncle!
-I love his adorable monkey toes. Those he got from his mama. Just about everything else he got from his daddy.
