A birthday and still growing

Friday was my 1 month birthday, and mommy and daddy sang to me. Of course mommy seems to always be singing something or other. Sometimes I have to cry to make her quit! We went back to the pediatrician Friday afternoon for a check up. Mommy and daddy were very excited to see how much I grew. I weighed 9 pounds and 13 ounces and measured 22 inches long. The doctor says I'm right where I should be! The doctor and nurse both bragged about how well I'm growing and how strong I am. Anybody who holds me can vouch for my strength. I like to stretch, and sometimes I even try to stretch right out of the arms of my beholder! I love to cuddle with my mommy. I'm starting to make eye contact much more, and I am also reaching and starting to grab at mommy and daddy. Mommy has been pumping, and daddy gave me my first bottle Thursday evening. I hardly noticed the difference, and I really enjoyed having some special time with just daddy and me. I think daddy enjoyed it too! This morning mommy and I took daddy to the airport. He is going to Washington D.C. until Wednesday. We're sure going to miss him around here!

I have some more exciting news: Next weekend I get to go to church for the first time! Friday mommy and daddy are taking me to church to see Fr. Tom for the 40 day prayers. Then Saturday, I get to go to Vespers and afterwards I will be baptized. Mom talks a lot about my baptism and she makes it sound kind of like a bath. I do love my baths, so hopefully this baptism thing won't be too bad either. Mommy is really looking forward to going back to church and taking me with her. If she likes this place so much, I think I will like it too!
