Month 1

You've been alive through a whole moon cycle!


Gentry,
I can't believe how I am so in love with you.  I enjoy almost every moment watching you learn and grow.  In the last month I have really gotten to know your cry.  I love to watch you cry.  You give one little wail and then the biggest, cutest pout.  You don't last long at crying either.  You usually give up pretty easily unless you are hungry.  The faces you make are hilarious.  You look like your dad often.  So serious.  I hope I am in there somewhere!  If not naturally then I will drill smiling into you!  You are a pretty chill kid going from quiet content to sleep to eat.  I love it!  You do whimper in your sleep and I wonder if you are remembering the rough way you entered the world!  The breastfeeding thing is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life!  Just before your month birthday I got on Reglan and got a new pump and it seems we've got the hang of it!  I couldn't be more proud when you spit up all over me because I know you actually have something in your belly to spit up!  You really have only spit up a hand full of times since you've been born.  I will say.  You have some wicked gas.  You even grossed out your Uncle Evan!  That takes talent!  You are so very loved by many Gentry!  I mean I couldn't believe who all came to see you when we went to Lolli and Pops house!  You are a very blessed girl!   I can't wait to see who you are going to become over the next months and years!  We love you very much!  

Your Mom and Dad
