Not wanting to nurse at all but I am holding strong and making him go at least until 6 months!

Holding his bottles kind of

Grabs things that he wants and is getting better control of his hands and arms

Rolling over back to stomach

Loves to suck on his toes!

Mother's Day

I saw a quote today that said "mothers are the only ones who know the true meaning to 24/7!" That is so true! But I think everyone would say they wouldn't trade it for the anything! 

Certain little moments have been melting my heart lately. 

Like the sound of Koen in the morning sucking on his toes and babbling about his sweet dreams. When I am sitting in the rocking chair feeding Koen and Brody jumps into his little coup car and drives it over by me, but not without putting my keys in the ignition first. He sits in the car, examining it and just being patient until I am done and can play again. 

When Koen holds my hand whenever I am holding him, or reaches for Brody's hand while they are laying on the floor together.

When Brody is supposed to be taking a nap he lays by his door and says "Tucker" in the cutest little voice in the world (tu-ter). Tucker goes and lays by his door and waits for him to come out and play some more! 

Motherhood is such a blessing and I couldn't have imagined it being more special!

4 Months

At 4 Months Koen is:

starting to babble all the time

notices when I leave the room and is really upset about it

napping twice a day

not quite sleeping through the night anymore

really good at holding his head up

eating rice cereal and bananas every once in a while

had his first formula bottle, but still nursing 

grabbing and holding onto things

standing up really good with his strong little legs

weighing in at 12lbs even in the 4.5%, and 24 3/4 inches long in the 40%

still such a happy baby boy :)

 Brother loves to cuddle

Just watching a little Wreck it Ralph, its our new fav right now

We got the jumper out for Koen, but Brody doesn't think Koen is quite ready for it so he is just going to use it until then...

Happy Happy boy on his 4 month mark!

Just Visiting

My dad and Angela came out to see us! we always get so excited when they fly out here, especially Brody! We had a really nice time going on walks and being outside in the wonderful spring weather. The visit wasn't long enough, it went by way to fast. But we are so grateful for them and that they make such an effort to always come out and see us!

 Tucker swam in the river and then rolled in the sand...

 Throwing rocks down the hill and into the river

 Brody is the dog walker

 Happy boys when the grandparents are in town!
