4 Weeks Old



It's hard to believe that Lennon is four weeks old today! It seemed like those last two weeks of being pregnant lasted forever, and now here we are celebrating his first month of being in our family! He continues to grow and we wouldn't be surprised if he surpassed his big "little" sister before he hits a year! He loves to eat and cuddle and he is getting to be so strong! He holds his head up so well and he loves to make eye contact. He has this adorable little squeal that he uses when he doesn't think you are paying enough attention to him. He also has developed a love for his swing. He is very content when he is in it. He also loves to be held by his big sisters and just this morning while all of us were lying in bed, he looked at his sisters and gave them the biggest smile! Aleece is such a good helper to us and she grows up more and more each day! She will be starting preschool in just a few weeks! She is very excited to go to school and make new friends. Madelaine is so funny--she also has redeveloped a love for the swing. If Lennon isn't using it, I will often find that Lainey has climbed in and is swinging and singing and having a grand old time! She also has developed some great mothering skills. She and Aleece will get out their baby dolls and bundle them with blankets and carry them around or place them in Lennon's bassinet if it is empty. They both come running if they hear there brother crying and Leecy T is excellent at helping give Lennon is pacifier. He is actually the first of our children to actually enjoy using a pacifier! It has been so fun watching our three children interact. They are so precious to us and we love them more than words could ever describe!

our three pride and joys!

Biggest sister and little brother!

Enjoying the swing!

I miss being there to help... we went to a cabin in Solitude with Tommy and Aria last night and it was fun to help out with Sydney, I told them I am helping you vicariously through them :) PRESCHOOL?!!? Wow those girls are getting so old, I can't believe it! Love you sister!

Wow I can't believe how big Lennon has gotten already. When I first saw the picture I didn't think it was him - he looks 3 months old! I'm so glad your little family is adjusting so well. I miss those girls and their sweet smiles.

He looks more like his mom every day! With that flute chin maybe he'll be the next Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull:) I can almost hear those great giggles in the girls picture, boy I miss that.
