Samford Walker | One Month

One Month Birthday

Dear Ford, 

What can we say? The past month has been much of a blur... but mostly because you're so laid back and go with the flow, it's sorta like you were always a part of our family. Maybe it's also that we packed up Moore Street and moved across town to Junkin Place when you were only two weeks old. It was pretty special that you got to call Moore Street home too - even if it was for just a couple days. You have been a great eater since night one, latching on great from the start, and eating every 2-3 hours. You sleep by our bed in your bassinet and have even starting giving us one long stretch at night (sorta), which is usually 3-4 hours, and eating every 2 after that. You're a sweet, sweet snuggler and your favorite place is in our arms. You have big blue eyes and are really starting to focus in on us and other things you see. Lights and fans are pretty fascinating at the moment. You have been very spoiled to have your GranDe with us during your whole first month of life... which means lots of spoiling. You love to be stretched out with your hands over your head. You were born with one fist up and I'm pretty sure that's your motto for life - let's do this. You are taking life in stride and have brought so much love to our family. 

One Month Highlights:

• 9 lbs, 14 ozs., 22 inches, 15.5 in head circumference (at two weeks), bold blue eyes and dark hair. You are starting to loose your dark hair on top, but I think it's growing back lighter. 
• Wearing 3 month clothing and pajamas \\ Pampers Newborn & Size 1 diapers (we are using up the newborns because you should really be in a 1)
• Nicknames: Little Man, Baby Ford
• Tricks: Starting to hold up your head when on my chest or on your tummy. Can turn head from side to side when on tummy. Also starting to grab onto things... like hair, necklaces, shirts, etc. 
• Favorite toys: play mat and giraffe rattle
• Food: Momma's milk
• You made your first trips to Target, downtown Lex for the sidewalk sale, The Braddicks and The Palms. 
• We saw a almost total solar eclipse from our back porch on August 21
• You don't mind car rides, and you love walks with Mommy.
• This month we moved into our new house at Junkin Place.
