Happy One Month

Some Afternoon Snuggles

Today I am thinking about my little man and the first time I set eyes on him one month ago. It's been a great first month. I am in love! Overall he is a fabulous baby, but he seems to be more fussy then I remember Camilla being. I love seeing the differences and similarities between them. I love when Camilla says, "I looove baby Hyrum". It really has been a great month and we've been blessed. Night times are sometimes long and difficult, my patience has been tested to the max, but the little snuggles and smiles make everything worth while. I have learned that when Hyrum is fussy the only things that will make him happy are the 4 S's: Swadled, Snuggled, Soos (soother), and Skin to Skin contact. If we don't do those we usually get a lot of G's (grunts). I have nick named him Sir Grunt-a-lot. If you ever spend a night at my house, you'll know why. He sleeps well at night, but because he grunts so much, Mr. Stannix and I are awake more than we should be. We also learned today that he enjoys watching Camilla get into trouble. It's kind of humorous! My favorite moments with him are when he is about to fall asleep because he will give you a hundred little smiles and grins (most of which are crooked and cute). It makes me laugh. Happy one month Hyrum!
