See how big he's grown...

Blake at 1 month + 3 days (today):

Blake on his birthday:

(I had forgotten that he used to have smears of blood on his feet and his shoulders and in his hair. We didn't bathe him for 3 days to spare him the trauma of being cold & naked right after he arrived; this meant that he smelled like amniotic fluid for a long time. Every time I nursed him in the first three days I could smell this thick, animal scent wafting off his tiny body. It was incredibly compelling. He smelled like he was mine.)
