What a month, sweet one! It has gone by in a flash, and you are growing so fast! Your sweet face and legs are filling out more and more each day! You are looking more "baby" and less "newborn" all the time! I love you to pieces and cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed your sweet presence in our home! You still spend much of the day sleeping, but we are getting to see your eyes more and more! Some evenings you stay awake for several hours ~ just looking around and taking in your surroundings! One thing is for sure, when your eyes are open, they are open wide!!
The other night we ate dinner at one end of the kitchen table while you lay sleeping in your moses basket on the other end. Your big brothers were acting crazy which is normal for them! They were laughing and singing so loudly, but you just slept on like a good 4th baby should!!! They don't phase you, sweet boy! You are precious and sweet and wonderful and peaceful, and I love you like crazy!!
Here are a couple pictures of you taken during the first month of your life. . .
Here you are after your first "real" bath. . .
And, here you are yawning. . .
Everytime you smile, I run at lightning speed to get my camera! And, by the time I return your smile is gone, and nothing I can do will bring it back! This is my best attempt at capturing your sweet smile. . . so far!!! I'm not giving up!
Your big brothers love you to pieces! Elijah wakes up saying "My Baby! My Baby!" He wants to give you love all the time as do your two oldest brothers! It seems they never get used to you! You've been with us a month, but you are still brand new to them ~ their favorite toy! And, you, my precious, calm little one, you very sweetly tolerate their love. And, here is a picture of you doing just that. . .
We are so glad that God in all His infinite wisdom chose to give us you!!
We love you, baby boy!

Oh, the sweetness of number four. I think part of it is that we've seen how quickly the first three have breezed by and we know we won't be having babies forever... so the preciousness just increases! I feel that same way about my number four boy. The dynamic between the four brothers is so fun to watch unfold day by day!
Oh, that was so very sweet.
Goodness, it's already been a month! It sounds so cliche, but it really does go by so quickly. He's just beautiful; I especially like the yawning picture.
