Dear sweet Atticus Luke,
You are now one month old and what an eventful first month you have had! It’s crazy to think that you’ve been here a month already. It feels like your birth was just yesterday. And strangely enough it feels like you’ve always been a part of our family. During my pregnancy, I was so worried about being able to find enough love in my heart for another child. That seems so silly now. I just look at your little face and my heart feels like it’s going to explode.
Speaking of worries that I previously had that you’ve squashed… your name. I was worried about giving such a strong, powerful name to such a tiny, little baby. But you are the epitome of your name already. From your quiet, calm demeanor to your knowing little eyes that are constantly taking in all the world has to offer. And the patience and kindness that you show your older brother by not crying when he pokes you in the face to name your body parts. I can already see that you are an empathic, intelligent little soul and I’m so excited and proud to be your Momma.
In our first month of getting to know you, you have shown us that you enjoy sleep. You will sleep anywhere and everywhere with any level of noise in the background. From a completely quiet room, to a room full of screaming toddlers– it doesn’t matter. You also rarely cry. You will occasionally get upset enough to fuss, but true crying is only something we’ve seen when you’re in pain. You like to “talk” and grunt when you are awake. There’s just so much to talk about in this new world of yours.
I’m so excited for your second month, my sweet baby. You’ve already changed so much– I can’t wait to see what you will look like in a few short weeks.
Love,
Momma

I’m hoping to do something similar to this each month to show how he grows and changes.
