One Month Old!!

ONE MONTH OLD TODAY!

Son, you are one month old today...oh my goodness. This month has truly flown and has been a whirlwind of fun, lots and LOTS of learning, trying times, and more love than I could ever imagine. You have grown so much physically and developmentally. I have grown alot emotionally because of the things you are teaching me that you don't even know you are.

There are so many things that you have done already, here are just a few:

Stolen 100% of your daddy and mommy's hearts

Found your hands and are cute when you chew on them

Almost outgrown your newborn clothes (more in length than weight...don't know where you are getting your height from)

Able to keep your head up

Figured out this breastfeeding thing (your mom is working on getting her confidence up)

Your able to focus and turn in the direction of sounds

You have become your mom's #1 and want to be with you all the time so she won't miss a thing

Gone to Gran and Grandaddys house and gotten use to it

Watched the Cowboys win...a couple of times!!  GO BOYS!

Love "Daddy Time" and sleeping on your daddy's chest (your daddy loves this so much and lights up a city with his beaming)

Surprised your parents with pee, poop and spit up on a regular basis

and...

Made your place in the McKown family and have put a new sparkle in your parents eyes. As your daddy tells you regularly, "When you came, everyone went down one spot on my favorite person list." You truly have blessed us and gave us a reason to wake up in the morning...or just stay awake because we're already up in the middle of the night.

Know that your parents are always here for you and pray specifically for you each day. One month has come and gone and we look forward to more and more from you. Matthew Ray, you rock and I'm so privelaged to call you mine.

I love you.
