Day 31 31/7/2011 One month old

It's the last day of July. Michael is a month old! It has been an adventur filled month. Michael has changed all our routines. It's hard to believe how he is developing, growing every day and how much he knows now.





When he was born he had a strange shaped head and a little narrow face. Now he has a lovely round head and is growing chubby cheeks and his legs are getting straighter. He has learnt how to smile and feed and snore and hold things in his hands. As of today the score is 9 - 9, that is nine wees on Daddy and nine on Mummy. Daddy went in to an early lead whilst on parernity leave, but Mummy has caught up now that she is looking after him on her own all day.He also has done one on the midwife. It feels like he has always been with us. he fits perfectly into our little family.

Today we haven't gone out anywhere we have mooched around the house all day. Michael was a bit whingy all day perhaps because he loves going out. He did let me play with him a little in the afternoon but mostly spent the day sleeping, crying and feeding. I gave him his bath today in the kitchen sink but it was not so easy. He is a bit too long to lie in the sink without risking bumping his head when he kicks his legs.
I had to hold my hand on his head all the time just in case. We call him Rocket Man because you always have to be careful with him when he is on your lap. He will suddenly kick both his legs and if you didn't catch him he would shoot across the room like a little rocket. Luckily I have always managed to catch him so far.
