Where did one month go?

This is not a question I'm asking. If you're surprised, it's because, as a new mother, I know exactly where the time went. I was there for almost all of it, awake - sort of - and aware - in my oft sleep-deprived way - of everything new, everything adorable, everything stinky. I don't feel like I've missed out on moments with John; I am extremely grateful to have had them. I want to recount some of what I've learned, but my brain doesn't want to work that hard right now. So instead, I'm posting pictures. And here they are:
