The way of a baby

I just love babies. I better, huh?   I’ve had three!   This newest one…I love learning about him everyday.  I love hearing  him breathe, sneeze, coo, and even cry.  Speaking of cries, I can interpret the “I am mad nobody is holding me or feeding me” cry!  Babies crave attention.  Will David loves to be read to.    I sat down with Buddy today after he brought his Bible into the living room and read him several Bible stories. At least half a dozen.   The baby smiled and made little noises..oh so sweet.  When he gets excited he moves about in this certain way. I was browsing through a book (one given to me by a blogger and in-real-life friend, Eliza) that said babies dance…and the movement is part of their dance.  What a beautiful way to observe these new little people!

Today was a slow day, but I did manage to give Ella a piano lesson. Her last one had been, well, um, a long time ago.  She did quite well for this lack of teaching, though. I was really impressed.   Since she is reading a bit now, I think that is helping her with the concepts, anyways. So, maybe it’s a good thing we hadn’t been keeping up with it.

Tomorrow is my niece Abigail’s sixth birthday party. It shall be a fun time!    The kids are supposed to bring their favorite kitty, as that is the theme.  I can’t wait to see how my sister in law, Lisa, has prepared for the party! She is so creative!

Other good news is another photo (maybe two more) are to be published as well.  I am awfullyexcited! 

Here are a couple pages I made recently.  The first is when we were expecting Philip. The second one is of Will David.

 

let’s add more

Oh, I sure have a crush on WordPress.  I love using this template!  It inspires my heart to write and speak…something I feel has been lacking for awhile on my blog.  

I plan on adding my blog roll eventually-  it needed updated anyways again.   I really appreciate those of you that visit here and comment.  It’s humbling.   And, makes me feel visible…since being a SAHM sometimes makes me invisible. 

Speaking of motherhood….my mom is my hero.  She was a thrifty shopper (thank you!) and discovered several fleece sleepers for Will David, in size 3-6 months, which is the size he is transitioning in here these days.   But, before that happens completely, some crazed photographer wants to take “outfit pictures”  before they no longer fit a baby.

Do you know that Valentine’s Day is sneaking up on us?  This means….crazed photographer must capture cute and unique Valentines’s photographs of the children.   I hope to find some neatly packaged and colorful candy or striped stockings…something….something….something….

We did have some sickness in the house today.  Ella was sick again, in her stomach, and ate a little bit, but mostly stayed on the couch today.  She got to color a lot, and watch Little Bear and Franklin.   Philip was a lone soul- he missed his playmate.  Rich didn’t feel quite himself either, and was taking some pain medicine to ease some discomfort he had.  Praying the night and morning goes well.  Cartoon Saturday wasn’t quite the same today- no donuts, and no extra visitors, as we had originally planned.  The kids were disappointed, but they dealt with it pretty good.

I have to add, lastly, that Will just has the sweetest smile and his baby talk is just darn cute.  Love it!

Oh, and second lastly, hehe, Will David slept 7 hours last night- straight through!   I needed that badly.  If he stays awake for awhile at about this time until 10ish, that means a great sleep night for me, but ahem….sure enough he is sleeping now, and that means another different night, although he will sleep a good 5-6 hours straight I think anyways.   At two months, I am impressed and relieved.   What a sweet, good baby.
