4 Weeks
October 15th, 2008
Maddox just turned 4 weeks old on Monday, and today he is officially 1 month old. Its confusing how 4 weeks doesn’t actually equal 1 month. I guess you have to wait until the birthdate on each month to consider it another month of age. I think.Â
I had a nice blog entry all written for his 4 week birthday, and somehow I deleted it. I blame the super sensitive track pad on my new MSI Wind Netbook. Anyway… I’ll try to summarize.
Maddox’s 4 week birthday was brought to us by the words Gas and Cranky. Pretty much the entire day was spent working on, and crying over burps and toots. It was a difficult day for all of us. Poor Maddox, all he could do was squirm and cry and try to scratch his face off. And all we could do was burp him, change him, feed him, and generally try to soothe him.
That night and every day and night since, has been trouble free – thank goodness. It really sucks when my baby hurts and there isn’t anything I can do about it. I know this isn’t a new sentiment, but I get it now.
Wow – he looks so much like Dallas in this picture. Dave saw it in the very first pictures, but it didn’t really strike me until this one. Spittin’ Image, as they say.
He does look just like Dallas! I showed this picture to my mother and we both remarked on the similarity. Such a cutie, I can’t wait to meet him!
