Dylan today you are one month old.
How did that happen?! These four weeks have flown by. Your dad and I have been oh so busy just drinking you in, in all your yummy baby-ness. I have covered the top of your head with 1,000,000 kisses, stroked those adorable cheeks too many times to count, and buried my face in your soft, soft hair....I told you I love baby hair!
You look like your dad already. Damn those Derhake genes are strong. And you do have big feet, just like your ultrasound showed. You are mellow too. Just a happy, chill baby. A happy chill baby who freaking loves his pacifier. And you have this funny face you make all the time, where you sort of furrow your brow and look all thoughtful/worried. Your dad calls it the Kate face. Um, you sort of have a wonky ear. Your right ear. It is all folded down on the top, maybe you were snoozing on it those last couple of crowded months in utero? Oh and you have dimples, actually on your right side you have two dimples. Best. thing. ever.
This last month has been surreal.
And it is going too fast already. I don't want you to keep getting bigger, selfish, I know, but I love how small and squeezable you are right now. If I could I would spend all day every day with you curled up, asleep on my chest. All ensconced in your warm snuffly baby goodness.
So perfect.
So one month into the lifetime we will share together, thank you Dylan, for being you. All this is better than I could have ever imagined....really hard too...but still better. You are more amazing to us than we could ever hope to put into words. And while I would love to keep you small and close, I am so excited to see all that you are and all that you will be.
xxoo
