The One Month Old Miracle

I can't believe that four weeks have already passed and our little miracle is already one month old! He's grown so much since that Thursday morning when we welcomed him to our family. He smiles, grabs hair, is losing his newborn hair, fits into size one diapers and 0-3 month clothing, and he's much more vocal than before. It amazes me to think of the fear, elation, joy and exhaustion that filled my heart that morning he was born. Now, we are rested, comfortable and completely smitten over this little bundle.

My neighbor, Heather, gave me a beautiful CD by Celine Dion titled "Miracle." On this one month birthday of my son, there is really no better song to wrap up all of our feelings for him than the title track:

You're my life's one miracle

everything I've done that's good

and you break my heart with tenderness

and I confess it's true

I never knew a love like this 'til you

You're the reason I was born

now I finally know for sure

and I'm overwhelmed with happiness

so blessed to hold you close

the one that I love most

though the future has so much in store

who could ever love you more?

the nearest thing to Heaven

you're my angel from above

only God creates such perfect love

when you smile at me I cry

and to save your life I'd die

with a romance that is pure in heart

whatever it requires

I live for your desires

forget my own, your needs will come before

who could ever love you more?

there is nothing you could ever do

to make me stop loving you

and every breath I take

is always for your sake

you sleep inside my dreams and know for sure

who could ever love you more?
