5 Months

 Our little stinker is 5 months old now. He has the cutest smile, and good thing, because he still refuses to sleep well at night. He loves his mommy, and his siblings, and sometimes his daddy. 

P3 has taken over our bed now. It's the only way I get any sleep!

P1 and P2 adore their baby brother. 

P3 is figuring out this rolling thing: 

Grandma and Grandpa brought back Mickey Mouse socks from Disneyland:

 

 

P3 likes to sit up, but still needs a bit of help staying balanced.

 

He enjoyed watching the Olympics with us. The Olympics inspired him to roll over both ways!

Please sleep baby boy! Mama is so tired...

 

 

We love our sweet baby boy!

January Pictures

January has been a pretty low key month. I've felt like a zombie for most of it, only getting sleep in 2-3 hour stretches. But somehow we survived! As I look at the pictures from this month, I just feel very blessed and grateful for my 3 beautiful children. We are richly blessed!

 

 

My little bear! We bundled him up so that we could all go to the park and try flying dad's new drone that he got for Christmas.

P1 loves his baby brother, and he is a great helper. He tries hard to keep the baby happy.

 

P3 with his big sister. She loves him very much, and he is fascinated by her.

P2 had a fever for a day, and then a couple days later P3 and I came down with a fever. It was a fairly mild one compared to what has been going around. A little bit of pain medicine and rest helped us feel better by the next day.

The kids helping dad put up drywall on the beam we fixed in the living room. Dad fixed it all up, and we are very proud of him! I am grateful for how handy he is!

P3 is still figuring out how to make his hands do what he wants them to do:

P3 looks more like his brother, but they each have their own look. P1 is on the left, P2 is on the right, and P3 is in the middle:
