One Month

Dear Vinny,

Today you are one month old. It has felt like much longer than that in some ways, and much shorter in others.

On Halloween, we dressed you up as a little vampire. Daddy carried you around in his arms, and you fell asleep after one or two houses. You were a big hit with everyone, and thanks to your cuteness, Mommy scored a lot of candy!

This evening, we went over to the next door neighbor's house. She has a daughter and son-in-law who live in town and who have two kids: a two-year-old son, and a six-month-old daughter. Maybe when you get a little older you'll be able to play with them. You were a big hit with them; Joe (the son-in-law) enjoyed your new baby smell.

You still love to be held and we continue to be very happy that you are our son.

Love,
Mommy
