i need a word
a brand new word
nobody ever heard
i need a word
that can express
you are the dearest
on the earth
{poem by monique and hans hagen}
parker’s latest:
+ 9 lbs. 8 1/2 oz.
+ smiling at mama while breastfeeding… sweetest thing ever
+ sounds a bit like an eagle swooping down for a mouse when crying, noted by auntie kate
+ likes being in the carrier, sleepin’ on people, dad singing george strait while rocking, and bath time
+ doesn’t so much like being put down
+ looks like dad, says everyone. mom’s still pulling that you’ve got her genes in there somewhere.

and one more, just for fun.
So sweet! He looks a LOT like your husband. 🙂
I see your eyes. I'm pulling for you, friend.
Gosh he is adorable. Lovin' that poem! Can you believe it's been a month already? I'm just one of your readers and I can't believe it has been! Ha!
Better Than a Milk Mustache
I've noticed it in other posts, but he really does look so much like your husband in the second picture!
he is darling!!
i love that first picture! he looks so happy, almost like he's saying, "heeeeeey! welcome to my party. i'm the coolest baby ever."
He is so handsome! Naw, that second picture looks a lot like you. Love those little eyes.
And btw, Ronan smiled super early too….. I totally believe you. 🙂 Gas? No way, those "smiles" are so different.
First picture–baby dance.
Second picture–"Duh, mom, I've got your brains!"
Love his hair…does it have red in it?
That poem is adorable, as is little Parker!
That poem made this pregnant woman tear up a bit. I cant only imagine the love that will fill my heart in about 4 months!! I am waiting in such great anticipation. Your son is beautiful. haaaaaaaaaa, to the eagle cry!
He is so precious. Love that song, too. Did you know it meant "Little Chicken, everything's okay" ? Chicken. I love it.
Bisous:)
goodness! Hie eyes in the second photo make you think you can see right into his soul!
beautiful poem & even more beautiful babe.
so happy for you friend!
Oh my goodness, I can hardly handle that second picture. It makes my ovaries hurt 🙂
Love that little poem. What a sweet face he has!
Oh. My. God. He looks just like your hubby!!!! That is crazy.
Sweetest post, ever. 🙂
oh my goodness! that is steve with a baby body! TWINS! he is so dang cute!
@french lover, i knew it was little something, thank you for telling me. chicken! i love it.
@e, ah, i don't think there's any red. that may just be my photoshop editing 🙂
i can't believe he's 1 month either! and yes, mini-steve!
It's true, Bridget. You & me, Babe. We've got a good thing going.
You're hosting a book club and you're a new Mama? (Well, a long-time Mama, new baby Mama… you know what I mean.) Now I feel like a total slacker. 🙂
I would love to come but September is filled with baby showers for my sis, and parental visits.
I am honored that you asked though. Blush… And I intend to meet that darling baby of yours soon!
He is absolutely precious!!
one month?! already? pst.. who are people saying he looks like? i can't tell.
Hes soo soo cute. Look at that serious face! <3
What a sweetie! You lucky mama, he still hasn't reached my son's birth weight. Oh geez! LOL
he is adorable!! he does look like his daddy A LOT!!!! 🙂
um yeah…he looks just like his dad! lol but don't worry, i bet you will peak out more and more as he grows 🙂
So very perfect. Love that face….man o man!!!!
He's beautiful. And that comes from both his daddy and his mama. Love the poem.
He is so cute! Congrats to you both. I love that poem. So sweet.
Bridget! He is such a cutie patootie! And already such a handsome little guy – he does totally resemble his dad! I feel like you can really see his personality in the 2nd picture – so, so cute! Congrats!!
Oh my gosh! He looks so much like Steve! What a cutie. You must be so elated, Bridget. Congrats again.
He looks so much like hubby! I bet he will have your mannerisms, though.
geez where has the time gone! I feel like I was just reading your pregnant posts and now he's a month old! He is just so precious and it's definitely making me want one!
so beautiful!

Ugh, he's gorg, he really is! And he does look exactly like Steve…but your beautiful genes are in there too and you'll probably start seeing more and more of them!
He's so cute and I agree he looks like your hubby, but maybe he will have your personality! That's how it is with my 1st (also a boy).
It's baby Steve! But babies always change so he'll probably look more like you next month and then after that everyone will think you adopted him.
All babies look like their dad their first year of life (more or less) because according to antropologists, it's so everyone would be able to tell who's kid it is if he/she got lost out in the fields. Makes sense to me!
He is adorable nontheless 🙂 I still see a bunch of you in him. The mouth, definitely.
He's rocking out in the first pic–either playing the air piano or something!
Precious boy!! He has a very wise look about him.
omg bridge he SO has your eyes.
and i thought you wrote that poem, b/c it seems reasonable as you are a phenom writer.
keep these coming!!
He is so cute!!! I was wondering where you got your rocker from…it is perfect!!!!
i thought the same thing….looks just like dad! he is so adorable. I just can't get over those little cheeks. so precious. congrats again. enjoy every MOMENT!
What a beautiful angel! Thank you for sharing those sweet moments with the world!
My angel baby is 6months already! I have some pictures of her on my blog if you aren't too busy 🙂

I've been a nanny to the same little boy for 7 years now. He was only 4 months old when I started watching him and feeding him his bottle was my most favorite thing ever..still is one of my favorite memories too! He would lock eyes with me, stare and smile and my eyes would always well with tears. He made, er, makes me soo happy! He started 2nd grade today, ah!

Along the lines of what Daniella said, our L&D nurse told us that all babies looked like their dads at first, so dad could be reassured the baby was actually theirs! Ha ha 🙂 I thought that was funny as both my sons looked just like their daddy when they popped out.
Wow. Such a little man. Heavenly.
he does look like his dad but i'm sure he'll look like you soon enough! in any case, he's pretty darn cute 🙂
I can't believe how much he's changed since I saw him! He is a mini-Steve, but Sydney looked like Chad initially and now looks more like me (so they say . . .) – so you never know. Either way – he's cute. I recommend keeping him.
oh my goodness, he's such a little sweetheart. SWOON!
<3
Love his pose in that picture! He just begs to be snuggled, doesn't he?! You've got one handsome little man there. (i love that at one month he's just a little over 9 lbs… My nephew was 9 lbs. 11oz. 23'' when he was BORN!)
sweetest poem. love that! and yes, the resemblance to your husband is unbelievable!!!! neither one of my boys look like either one of us!
I love that top photo of him in the chair, and oh my gosh he looks so much like your husband!
beautiful poem!
oh swoon. that last picture is the cutest thing i ever did see.
he's adorable! i love his hair color 🙂
i cannot believe how much older he looks now than when i saw him 2 weeks ago!
wow! every picture of him looks different! and that is the sweetest poem ever. love it, bridget!
walking here with a smile.. have a nice day ~ =D

it is like i am looking at a photo of steve's head on a baby's body. i love it!
He is precious, and he SO looks like you. Everything about that last picture has you written all over it. Love the poem, and I really thought you wrote it. Lovely.
Oh my Gosh he looks just like the husband!!!! Already!!!
WOW he does look like his poppa! But don't worry, some of your pretty genes will make their way in there sometime soon! Actually, babies typically look like their fathers at first – it is a biologically imperative left over from our less civilized times. The theory is that if a man sees himself in an infant, he is more likely to be committed to caring for the child and less inclined to leave. Just a little bio theory for you this morning 🙂
Congrats again and I can't wait to see what new adventures pop up in your little home!!
xx, Kait
1. Such a beautiful poem
2. Your rocker is the bomb
3. My bebe feels most comfortable in my arms/up against my chest as well
4. My husband's genes dominated too. I think she has my lips… if that.
weird. i immediately saw you in that last shot. i miss you btw. and i need that rocker. no seriously. xx
