My greatgrandson, Nolan, passed his one month birthday on August 10th and he's getting chubby. His Mommy, Natasha, is breastfeeding him and she apparently has good rich milk to serve him. Daddy Nick fills the role of burper.
Nolan is a sweet, bright baby with such a calm temperament. Of course he cries occasionally but don't we all?? Usually he makes screwed up faces that look like the preview to a full wail but then they mostly seem to fade away and he serenely goes on with his examination of the world around him. I think he just likes to keep us on our toes.
It's interesting to me that sometimes when one of the family is holding him and he begins to fuss, he calms right down as soon as his Mommy takes him in her arms because he acquaints her smell with comfort. Isn't nature wonderful?
We all had dinner at Gramma Kim's yesterday so Nolan got lots of cuddling. I think Natasha worries that all the passing around might be bad for Nolan but I believe it can only do him a world of good to soak in all that loving. He's definitely the center of our world right now but will have to share the spotlight later when another baby comes along. He should enjoy his unique spotlight now.
I'm looking forward to watching this little man grow up but I know enough to enjoy every moment of his life. For now it's a pleasure just to watch his tiny face as he sleeps, looks around, or even cries (which doesn't happen often).
