Fabulous Four

Lil Man-
Yesterday you hit the 4 month mark- crazy how fast time is going by! You are at such a fun stage now. You are "talking" up a storm and laughing, it is too cute! You still have your trademark big ole grin and everyone who sees it immediately falls in love. You love your jump-a-roo and playing "super baby" with your Daddy. I love to see you two playing together. You can really grab onto things now; pretty much anything you can get your little hands on, especially mommy's hair. This has been a month of big firsts. You can now roll over and are wiggling all over the place. You also slept through the night for the first time- thank goodness :) You still have some nights where you wake up once to eat, but we do get some full 8 hour nights here and there. And the biggest news, your very fist cousin was born!
I am grateful every day for the gift of YOU! I love being your mommy more than I ever could have imagined. Seeing your precious face every day is a blessing beyond measures. I love you doodlebug!

We have a niece!

We were so excited to find out that last Friday morning, my brother and sister-in-law welcomed a new addition to their family- a beautiful little girl! Her name is Karis (which means grace in Greek) and she is absolutely adorable. Aaron and I are officially now an Aunt and Uncle! My parents, Aaron, Wyatt and I were all able to make the trip to see her this weekend. She was still in the hospital, but it was so great to get to meet her. She seems sooo tiny! It's hard for me to even remember that Wyatt was ever that small, 10 oz. smaller actually!

This is their first child (which they adopted and then are expecting another baby in early Feb.) so it was really neat to get to watch them with her. She already has them wrapped around her tiny little fingers--- just as it should be :) They are going to be amazing parents and are so deserving of this blessing. I can't wait for them to take her home and begin their journey as a family. I also can't wait until Wyatt, Karis and their next baby are older and can play together. It will be so much fun to have kids so close in age. Here are a few pics of our new little family member.....
