Harry Beau,
It’s incredibly hard to wrap my head around the fact that you have been with us for one whole month. It seems that it was just yesterday that they placed you in my chest, but it also feels like forever and a day. You have been such a perfect addition to our family. You fit here in this little tribe of ours.
Your daddy and I agree that you are the spitting image of me as a baby; even more so than Audrey was, which is kind of hard to believe. But no worries, those McGough genes are strong, because you already have so many of your daddy’s mannerisms. If I’m being honest, it’s a little terrifying to think about 3 of your daddy living in this house... so keep my sanity in mind as you get older and more aware. K?
We love your snuggles and your sweet little grunts. You make the most precious little grins when you’re “playing” on your mat. You also have the BEST mad faces and you still resemble Bernard from The Rescuers. I wonder if we will always think that about you??
You have had some troubles with nursing and are keeping mama very busy making sure you’re getting enough of that liquid gold. I’m hoping that you and I can start to spread out those feedings now that we’ve corrected your lip tie. Which you were a total champ for! Despite our troubles, you’re gaining weight and growing like a weed. We’ve already had to sort through your clothes and take out the ones you’ve outgrown. Basically, you’re rocking this life thing and we couldn’t be more excited for what is in store for you!
We have been praying for you for so long, and it feels so good to finally be holding you in our arms and filling our home with all the sounds of newborn life (lots of cries, but worth it. It seems you take a little after your sister in that respect). It’s going to be such an honor to watch you grow up and live out God’s story. We will do our best to encourage and equip you and it is my sincere promise to always be you’re greatest cheerleaders. We love you so deeply, sweet boy.
Happy 1 Month,
Love Mama & Daddy
