One Month!

Hi all.

It has been a busy month here in the Edsall household as we have slowly adjusted to the presence (and needs) of our little boy. Eli, however, has been oblivious to all the effort we have put in. It's like he doesn't even care. Kids. They just take and take.

Really, though, it has been pretty easy as far as transitions go and Eli is thus far a good eater and a "good" sleeper. He was born at 8lbs 12oz and as of 1 month he is 10lbs 10oz. Yeah, our boy can eat.

It's hard to believe that Eli is a whole month old!  Here he is on a quilt that Deanna made for him (perhaps another post on that later...)  The plan is to take a photo on this blanket as each month passes in order to visually record his growth.

This morning at breakfast when Deanna told Nora that Eli was one month old she asked, "What does a one month old baby do?"  She is ready for him to do more than sleep, eat and poop and eagerly peers at him in his Moses Basket in hopes of seeing some new behavior.  We keep telling her that it will be awhile but then today, during his one-month photo shoot, Eli rolled over! (Photo evidence to follow.)  He was at least as surprised as Deanna. It's amazing what can happen when your head weighs more than your body.

'hey, i wonder what my right arm tastes like...'

'whuh-oh!  there goes my head again... darn thing is so heavy!'

'um, mom, a little help here??'

'no seriously!!  MOM!  i have no idea what's happening!'

'whoa.  that was intense.'
