One Month Old!

I can't believe my little boy is 1 month old. It is so strange because on one hand I can't believe it has been that long and on the other it seems like he is older. We are having so much fun with him and watching him learn every day. He is getting so much more alert and looking around at everything. He is so strong and holds his head up all of the time and stands on his legs when you are holding him. We have been playing with him by holding toys out for him to look at them and he has started batting at them or brushing them with his hands. It is so amazing to watch him work it out and try to touch the toy. Yesterday he smiled for the first time and it was so amazing! He has smiled when falling asleep or unintentionally when making different movements with his face, but yesterday he looked at me and smiled really big and then relaxed his face and did it again. It made me cry and love him even more. Since then he has done it a few more times and it is so wonderful.

Henry also had his first visit to church today and did great. He slept most of the time and everyone thought he was so cute. It was so great to be back at church and was so refreshing and encouraging. Thursday Henry and I went to Small Group for the first time and had a great time. Daniel had to work and wasn't able to go but we did pretty well just the two of us. Our leaders oldest daughter, who is 2, said she really liked him. It was so cute.






The other big event recently is that we started Henry in cloth diapers. Now I know many of you reading our blog will think I am crazy, but it is really fun. We decided, after much research, before Henry was born to use cloth and I have really been looking forward to it. Cloth has come a long way and there are lots of choices. I found a website, jilliansdrawers.com, that has a "Try Cloth" kit. They send you several different types and you can try them for 21 days, decide what you like and send back what you don't want. We have been trying them for a few days are are figuring out what we like. I am looking forward to being a cloth diapering mom full time. And he looks so cute in them!
