You are one month old today. While challenging at times, this month has been the most amazing month of my life. I spent the 9 months leading up to your birth dreaming of who you will look like. What color hair? Eyes? Would you have your fathers nose? Eyelashes? Who are you going to grow up to be? Will you be a musician like your father? Or the athlete we have dreamed you to be? A doctor to live up to your initials?
Now that you are here, I am happy to say that you are a good mish mash of both of us in the looks department. I can't wait for the journey to continue on the road to discovering who you will be when you grow up. I'm already in love with every little thing about you. The way you always lean your head to the right side when you sleep. The way your arms flail about like you are a walking zombie. The little monkey sound you make when you are hungry. The gorgeous smile you make when you are sleeping. Oh, and the little yelp you do when you are fast asleep. And my favorite, the way you hold your fist up to your chin as if you were in deep thought.
I can't wait to discover more about you. I can't wait for the day you smile at us with purpose and not reflexively. I can't wait for your first coos. Oh and I can't wait for the day we all get to sleep through the night again!!!!
Until then, I patiently accept your wake up calls at 3am, 4am, 5am, etc. I love every minute of time we spend nursing. Holding you so close to me is so amazing and special. The time with you is my most cherished time. I am dreading the day I have to return to work. I already am having separation anxiety just thinking about it.
My dearest Diego, you are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me and your father.
We love you so much and look forward to the rest of our lives with you.
Happy 1 month birthday.
Mami y Papi
