Monday, January 7, 2008one month old!milo is one month old today! i don't know if i can write this without getting a little weepy. his personality is emerging more strongly with every successive day and i fall a little more in love with him. he is sweet and tender, happy and mellow. he grins and makes big eyes at us. in the mornings, when he starts to stir a little and wake up, i snuggle him closer and press our faces together and breathe slow, deep, steady breaths and he makes a happy whimper and falls right back to sleep. he is my favorite person in the whole world. i can't wait until we can have conversations! last sunday, matt's father left after a week-long visit. here are the okin men:  and the very next day, new year's eve, milo's aunt melissa arrived for a visit:  poor melissa came during the peak of milo's fussiness. (i say "fussiness" rather than "colic" because it doesn't follow the rule of threes, but it's essentially an hour or two a day of inconsolable crying and screaming.) every trick in our book and weapon in our arsenal that had worked before was suddenly useless, or it would work for a minute or two and then he'd let loose again with more wailing. i think that over the entire course of last week, i got a total of 18 hours of sleep. it's kind of amazing how little sleep you can function on when you have to. and i'd very happily endure a couple of hours of fussiness a day when the rest of the hours are so wonderful. i can't wait to see what month 2 will be like.
