One month.

How in the world is this guy already one month old?
Seriously!  How?

This month has been a blur.
A busy, beautiful blur.

He is a dreamy baby.
Cozy, sleepy, cute and serious.

So very serious.
I don't know if it is a boy thing, or a Shane thing.
But he seems to be in a constant state of deep thought and concern.
Perhaps thinking of ways he will survive the attention of his sparkly, noisy, helpful sisters.

I am slowly beginning to feel human again.
C-sections are not all rainbows and unicorns.
Repeat, repeat ones are especially unicorn free.

But this guy is a pretty great reward.

Now if I could just figure out a way to slow down time and freeze this little, snuggly, serious little baby.

    Sorry your recovery seems to be so hard. I had 3 sections too, and my last was with twins and they were subsequently easier each time. Happy 1 month to the both of you!

    He is ridiculously handsome for a one month old. In 5 weeks our little girl will be here. If you ever consider an arranged marriage, please look us up :)

    My oldest was a serious baby, way serious...and now he is kind of insane (he is three...).
    I love serious babies, they are too cute!

    He is just PRECIOUS! Ours is 7 weeks old and I can't believe how fast time is flying by! When do you get time to record all the moments and blog again? I really want to do it all... craft, blog, housekeep, cook, and spend plenty of time just cuddling my girl, but HOW does that ever happen? You are Superwoman! :)

    Wow, time is going fast! And I love the quilt. I recognize it from your stack of fabrics in previous photos.
    I just got the courage to make my first quilt for my sisters baby shower last weekend. I used raspberry,lime and dark brown fabrics and it turned out so cute! With the new teaching job I havent had much energy for posting though. Reading others' blogs takes less effort:)

    Very precious pictures. Yes, those first months go so fast, and they change so fast. Wish God would have made that newborn time longer and shortened the one year old, crawling and putting everything chokeable into your mouth phase :)

    How can someone so very little be so very handsome? Such a little man already! He's just darling... and I mean that in the most macho way, of course. :)

    Happy One month old Shane, You. Jason & the girls! Yayaya! Congrads! Esp. slowly healing from your c-section it deff helps you slow down & enjoy things!

    But I dunno how it is to have one I'm deff blessed at being able to give birth naturally. But I know others that have had em & it looks painful!

    But Shane is deff the reward in the end! He's so tiny & cute! I want to squish em! In a good way not-a-I'm-your-old-granny-kinda-squeeze. haha.

    Did you finish his quilt top? Because if so I love love love love love love love love lover it! Good job Momma! I have my daughter's to be quilt not done still I gotta put on binding debating on buying some or making my own..i did quilt it myself just x's but I wish it was free motion quilted but oh well next time.

    I love his 1month shirt! I gotta do that too just have to buy that computer printer stuff. DId you make it or someone get it for you as a gift?

    Have an awesome day!
    Karin Marie :)

    omigoodness...he is such a handsome little guy! i had a girl followed by boys. my boys were the most quiet, sweetest things ever....just wait till he is running around in a few years...no sitting down to color, make things, read or snuggle, my boys wanted to run, climb, wrestle and stir up mischief!! they are so fun, though!!
    So nice you get to experience both!

    He's a cutey for sure! And love the Star Wars. It took till about 13 months to really start getting major giggles out of my little guy. He was so serious it sometimes made me wonder, but now I just eat up his laughs!

    He's adorable! Has it really already been a month? And can I just say, thank you for being real about the repeat c-section comment. I'm so tired of hearing everyone say they were great. I'm really trying for a VBAC...which could end up terrible, too. Either way I'll have to heal, right?
