1 Month

Jerrin was one month old on July the 14th. So hard to believe that time is go by so fast. He is such a sweet little guy. I call him my Very Hungry Caterpillar. He eats and eats and eats. He is so alert and expressive. He has started smiling and cooing. He makes all sorts of noises with his voice. I have resisted the urge to pull out the PLS or any developmental scales but I am sure I will. I am such the helicopter parent already much to Steve's dismay Doesn't help either that I am an OCD Speech Path.
