Fun with baby at home

The kids sure are loving having a little baby around... sometimes a little too much :) They love to smother him in kisses, "pet" his head, and fight over who gets to sit on the side he's eating on. It's been pretty good having my three, a little wild and crazy at times, and mom is TIRED, but all in all we're doing great. I enjoy my sweet little babies more and more each time I have one. They are so tiny, cute and sweet, and I guess now I realize how quickly they do grow up! I love little Hunter, he's so precious.


My all time favorite picture! Look how happy Cody is, he has the best smile! He always asks "Can I hold him?" He just loves to be up close to this little one.

"binky buddies"
Good thing I got a picture of it because this last week I finally got rid of Cody's binky for good- yay!

This is how he sleeps half the time at night- in his baby seat. He's not a huge fan of his bassinet, and this seems cozier. He usually goes about 2 1/2 hours between feedings at night, but he has gone as much as 5 one time, which is always a huge blessing. 4 hours of sleep in a row? What a difference it makes! Lack of sleep has always been a huge challenge for me, but on Mother's Day after feeling angry about being woken up prematurely, then feeling awful about the way I was acting, I decided it was finally time to face the fact that I'm just not going to sleep as much as I'd like anymore. And fortunately, since that time, I've done much better at being kind, even when I am woken up prematurely.



Rumor has it that he looks like his big sister. She sure loves her little brother!
