We have officially reached month 1.

I can not believe it. It seems like only yesterday that we were coming home from the hospital. Yet we have gone through 3 packages of new born diapers, 2 size one diapers (then realized that we still need new born size), 4 squeeze containers of vaseline, 2 diaper genie cartridges, 5 -6 wipes containers. I think our first day home we went through every piece of clothing he had. Plus a ton of swaddler blankets. So his wash was done the first day, the second day and even the third day. (We are doing much better now).

I am exhausted, tired, a zombie, and need some sleep. On the other hand, I have a little snuggler, someone who sleeps in our arms, stretches, sighs, and smiles, someone who is growing each day, little eyes that grow as big as saucers with each new experience. The amazement and wonderment makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

Our house is settling in nicely. Codi and Richie have both given in to Ryan and show concern when he cries, annoyance when he cries for too long, curiosity with each coo, squeak, and rustle.

So we are celebrating tonight with a shower and nap (for me) and lasagna and meatloaf made by my Mom.
