First.

First peek.


First breath.


First embrace.


First outfit.


First protector.

First ride.

First lick???? Sad to say, not the last!


First secret.


First high five.


First swing. (Loulabelle was the photographer)

First walk. Ugh...the sun!


First bed.

First Fourth. (hated it)

First bath. (Yes, we have space issues)

First man to man.

First perfection.

First ball game.


First Gramps.

First month.


Sweet Wingman, you are such a blessing. Everyday with you is more wonderful than the last. You are so small and soft, we can't keep our hands off you. Life is moving so fast. You are the third, so our world moves faster than it did for the others. That makes me sad for you. You have less time to just "be". I try to hold you as often as I can. You mold your sweet body against mine and sigh with contentment. I love those moments with you. I wish we could have all the time in the world. I dread going to sleep every night because I miss you. But thankfully, you are sleeping well. Daddy loves the moments he gets you all to himself. He doesn't like to share you. Your brother and sister can't stop kissing (and licking) you. You haven't minded their attention. It has been the best month of our lives!

You have a gift of words, my friend. You had my tear ducts working at the first "first..." and the precious moments captured on film. He is so special and what an amazing family he has been born into. Thank you for being so open and letting us see your heart.

I'm still teary, by the way!

So sweet. Wingman is such a cutie. He is a doll. I am so thankful that God has blessed your family with #3. My heart is aching today for our #3, but I am trusting God to bring him in His timing. Thanks for the peek into your first month with Wingman.

Can't wait for Wingman and the twins to be buddies!

Oh Janelle...he's just so precious & what touched my heart even more was when you mentioned missing him when you went to sleep. What a precious love you have for your son...He's beautiful. Can't believe it's already been a month...
