Yes, you read that right. Today marks four weeks since you were born. FOUR. I want time to slow down!
What did we do today? Well, we slept in a little, even though I still woke up exhausted. Then mommy did some chores. We watched a little tv. You ate, pooped and slept. I got you dressed in an adorable outfit I bought you yesterday.
Mommy got a little distracted from chores cuddling with you...
Auntie Shaila came over and we went to the bank and to the mall. You were a fussy boy at the bank, but I finally got you to sleep and you were okay after that. We went to the mall to get my wedding ring sized. I decided to get some food while we were there. I had the WORST lunch ever. I blame Auntie Shaila :). I ate a corn dog, shared a cinnabon with your aunt and then washed it down with a Mr. Pibb. Terrible, I know. It sure was delicious though! We had a really nice day with your Aunt. She loves you so much.
Another big thing that happened today is you smiled! You have smiled before, but only in your sleep. Today you actually smiled while awake! You are also starting to laugh, but you only do that in your sleep. It is my absolute favorite.
When Daddy got home for work, we decided to go on a walk as a family. It was so beautiful out! We walked around the apartment complex, got the mail and then walked to a part nearby. My hip and leg have been bothering me and Daddy was walking so fast with you! He probably was annoyed I was taking so long, but he waited. You were WIDE awake. I think you are going to like being outside, which is good because your Daddy loves to be outside too. We sat at the park for a little bit and talked. It was really nice. Then Uncle Jordan, Uncle Brett and Uncle Ivan came over for a bit.
Headed out!
Stopping for the mail
Wide awake!
Walking with Daddy

And then he started to run...
And had to end up waiting for me again :)
At the park!
One day you will be able to play here!

Today when I realized it has been four weeks, I cried. I was holding you, staring at you and tears welled up in my eyes. Four weeks. My baby is four weeks. This means I have to go back to work soon. How am I going to leave you for work? I know people tell me they have done it, but it doesn't help. I, YOUR mommy, don't want to leave you. I am going to miss you so much. But I still have some time and for now I will enjoy what time I have left with you. I know God is going to provide and make everything work out just the way it should be! Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and experience things over again. To freeze a certain period of time and thoroughly take it in. It's funny how in my own life there are certain events I would love to relive again, but with you, I would relive every day if I could. Relive every day. Take in every moment. It's a good thing we can't do that. I don't think my life would ever progress! It is so fun to watch you grow and change every day...and look more and more like your daddy. Are you sure you are mine?!
It's funny how you never truly understand what certain things mean until you live them. One thing I know for sure now is this...I never knew what love was until I became a parent. My heart overflows with love for you, a different love than what i fill with others. I know your daddy loves you just as much. It is so fun to watch him look at you. I can see his love for you in his eyes.
We love you so much Cash. So so much.
