SPS @ 1 month

Sam officially was four weeks yesterday. I guess technically his one month birthday will be on the 21st--Monday.

Here are Sam's new tricks:

• He can successfully remove the binky from his own mouth
• He can stay awake for part of a walk
• He can scream throughout a bath (OK, he had his first bath, and it was not a huge success)
• He can make yet more noises, and especially enjoys "talking" in his crib early in the morning.

We are extremely grateful to some of the folk in our building who have been cooking for us. It is making this week a little easier. Emotionally, we are doing so-so. Neither of us handle lack of sleep very well. We're also nearing the end of the semester and are struggling with some future angst. However, all in all, things are coming together. We have a beautiful, increasingly active, baby. We each have some good work to do, as we feel able. And we are blessed with a strong community and an amazing congregation.
