As of tomorrow afternoon, Hank will be a month old already. Everyone tells you that your kid is going to grow up quicker than you could ever imagine, and they're absolutely right. He's already bigger, making more noise, and showing signs that he's capable of having a decent attention span. His face doesn't look like a lizard anymore, either (he had dry skin, which I guess is normal in later-term babies) which is nice.
Work and school have kept me away, which is a little hard from time to time, but knowing that he's in the very loving/capable hands of Shelly is reassuring. She's got the patience of a saint, I tell you. It can't be easy to change diapers all day, sooth a crying baby that can't communicate and feed him from her body parts for 30 minutes at a stretch. What a lady!
We got a new car yesterday, which will come in handy when Shelly is travelling around the city (she used to drive a manual-transmission Mercury "Mistake"). It's a Honda Fit - the perfect size for the two of them to have some fun.
I hear the pitter-patter of feet, which means Hank is awake and Shelly is in "mama-mode", so I'm going to head up to see if I can pitch in. Best to all - will try to post more pics later.
Cheers!
Dave, Shelly & Henry
