Lil’ Fitz has made it to the ripe old age of one month. It has been an emotional roller coaster so far but also very rewarding, especially when we get to look back at the photos and see how much he’s grown. While he’s only recently passed the 7-pound mark (he was born at 5lbs, 13oz, and shrunk to 5lbs, 4oz by the end of his first week), he has changed a lot. His eyes are certainly brighter, his cheeks are fuller, and he seems much more aware of his surroundings.
He was calm and playful this morning so I (Matt) was able to capture him resting peacefully on the couch. As you can see, he’s on the verge of truly smiling. We are seriously looking forward to having a range of expressions other than crying and curious bewilderment.
