Benjamin is 1 Month Old!

I don't even know where to start! I can't believe that he is already one month old! It's quite funny also that today, finally his belly button fell off-I know what you're thinking "That thing lasted a month?" My thoughts exactly.
During the past 30 days, I've learned so much. I've learned that Benjamin has a favorite blanket, he likes to watch Survivor, he hates formula (which is fine with me!) and Wal-Mart but loves the library. I've learned that it's best to have a spit rag with you at ALL TIMES because boys pee everywhere and can pee on walls at the young age of 2 weeks old. I've also learned that when you become a mother, your heart does amazing things. I honestly didn't know that your heart could feel so many emotions and love someone so much. I never considered myself a patient person but I have incredible patience, that of a saint as my husband thinks when it comes to Benjamin's 'fussy' times.
I've already done 'the worst possible thing to my son'. I was trimming his nails, which I've done at least 3 times already and I accidentally cut his finger and the darn thing would not stop bleeding. I of course call the pediatrician freaking out and having an official meltdown trying to find out what to do. 3 days later, his finger is almost as good as new.
Benjamin is growing like a weed! Some of his clothes don't fit him anymore and his hair is getting thicker and more golden. His eyes have lightened to a steel blue color and he still keeps his hands close to his face. He loves his blanket next to his face and he likes to fuss himself to sleep. Sadie likes to lick his feet and he will 'dance' when Sadie tries to kiss him. He's also independent, he likes to figure things out for himself and yes, I can tell this about him and he's only 1 month old. Did I mention that he only wakes about about 1-2 times a night? Yes, I know that I'm blessed!
I know that it may sound weird but I'm sort of 'sad' that he's a month old. I know that's silly but I see him growing and making little accomplishments and I just want him to stay little for a while and I know he will. Do other moms feel that way too? I hope so...
