It's only just begun...

Kaden and friends up above. The twins are about a year and a half older, and have much fun figuring him out. Generally, they're getting the hang of "gentle" and have quit poking him the eye! What's much fun now is that Kaden is aware of them, and starting to try and join them in their play. We'll see how excited/tolerant they are when he's mobile enough to mess their stuff up!



And because I forgot to post it two weeks ago, here's Kaden at 5 months. He's now a bit more reachy, grabby, and generally more squirmy than ever before! Church is a bit less of a long reflective time and more of snatched prayers between bouncing him away from the hymnals.

Kaden's Christmas gift to us last week? TWO - yes, one and then another, TWO nights of 12 straight hours of sleep. We'll take 'em, because the rest of the time he's a bit more fussy about going to bed or being t-i-r-e-d in general. We're thinking a tooth or two might make an appearance soon.

And here's to 2009! May we all be blessed with health, happiness, and the courage to widen our circle of friends :)

Look how big he is!

I think there is a very frustrating baby stage between the time when they sleep constantly and the time when they begin to interact with the world in more obvious ways.

The stage you get after that is LOTS of fun because they are so interested in everything and respond in new ways all the time - although it is too bad they are totally oblivious to all things dangerous and deadly until, when?, sixteen? twenty?

Just wanted to respond to your comment on my last post...It is hard leaving the little ones even if a grandparent is the caregiver. And when the boys are all about mommy, we call it being "momma-fied"...oh that makes it so hard to focus on work! I am so glad we are able to support each other through all the ups and downs of being a mommy!!
