My Monkey is 4 Months!



Can you believe how fast time has flown by? I can't believe in a month and a half we will be feeding this babe something other than breast milk, that sooner rather than later he will be crawling and we will need to baby proof all over again, and more certain than not our love for him grow a zillion times over with every passing moment. Elijah has fit right into our little family being the perfect baby. He is full of smiles and wonder. He loves looking at his siblings with amazement. He is patient when he needs to be. Already I see such wisdom in his little eyes as he observes the world around him. Kynan and Ava couldn't be more thrilled to have him and truth be known, I think Kynan is counting down until he can wrestle with him. He is so excited to show his little brother all about being brothers. For now though, the kids are so gentle with him: loving him at every opportunity. Elijah is sleeping wonderfully, going to sleep anywhere between 8-10:30pm and sleeping through most nights until 5am for a quick nurse. Some nights are worse than others, now that the little monkey is teething, but I actually don't mind. It's in those quiet moments alone together that we get our most precious moments with each other so I breathe them in. I am so in love with this little dude it's not even funny. I mean just holding him makes you want to have another baby if you already have a child, or just plain want a baby. No joke. Just hold him and you will see. He has that effect. It has been a busy 4 months and I am certain it will only get busier, but no matter how exhausted or over whelmed I feel I am in awe of what wonderful blessings God has given me.

Sounds like you have adjusted beautifully to life with three, despite the tiredness. Tell me it's all worth it?!? :)

He is so adorable! It is hard to believe he is 4 and a half months already. I can't wait to meet him this summer!
