Dear Ryder,
Mama has been slacking. We have been so busy!
Last week you went to the doctor's for the first time. It wasn't really an enjoyable experience for any of us. Daddy went with us and I think that the nurse was surprised at how involved daddy is with you. Most daddy's aren't like him. You are sure a lucky man to have such a great daddy! The doctor said that you are doing great! We will go back in a month and that will be a traumatic visit for you and me. Needles and screaming will be involved. Mama will probably be crying with you.
Mama was sick earlier this week and that was rough. Mama also made you sick. I made soup and forgot about the fact that you are breastfeeding, so I put tons of veggies in it, including lots of cabbage. It was an awful three days with a screaming baby. I felt so bad when I realized what I had done, but relieved when I had figured out what was wrong with you. I promised you to always think about what I am eating from that point on. It was a lesson learned.
Yesterday was your first Thanksgiving. You met some more new people over at our cousin Cari's house. Mama and daddy ate lots of good food while you were being held by lots of family that loves you. It has become a nice break for mama and dad when family is around. They want to soak you up and admire you, and who wouldn't? You're adorable! {Of course, mama is just a bit biased.}
Today you are a month old. On one hand it feels like you have been here longer and on another it feels like you just got here yesterday. Either way it's been the best month of mama's life. You have brought so much joy and excitement into my life. I am trying to soak up all of the new little things that you do with each week and your smallness. You won't be small for long, and I want to cherish everything. I love getting to know you and I can't wait to see more of your personality shine through with each week. I love you, little one. Always.
Sincerely,
Mama
