Four Months Old!

I cannot believe that the first third of my sweet little boy's first year is gone! He is such a joy in our house. Here's a peek at what he's been up to:

Holding up his head like a rock star. Court loves his tummy time. When he fusses (or just for the fun of it) we throw him down on his blanket. He's already scooting his way across the floor!

Oh my goodness, I could just eat him up! We're practicing sitting...

Luca has begun the time-honored tradition of including baby brothers in the game of dress-up. He doesn't seem to mind as long as nothing interferes with the finger chewing. He is BIG into chewing.

Taking a snooze. He is less of a napper than Luca was but being that he's so happy, we're ok with that.

Is there anything cuter than baby toes? Court is a great shopper and with his carseat cover on he can catnap in peace.

Luca thinks being able to do anything with Court is a big deal. Even just sitting.

Sibling Storytime. Isn't it great that Court seems to be actually invested in this story? Luca "read" the whole book to him three times.

The girls helped me wash the truck while Court watched. He enjoys sitting up so that he can see all the action. It was such a beautiful day!

Hanging out on Mommy's & Daddy's bed is a favorite thing to do.

And, lest this blog should give the impression that we lead a storybook life with nothing but happy, perfect children: There was a day this week that was so full of stomping, whining, crying & disobedience that a certain Mommy broke. At that point, a certain someone was sent wailing to their room to stay until the whining stopped and the Mommy regained her composure. In all honesty, that took almost 45 minutes. And that's when the Mommy found this:

Around here we like the Anne of Green Gable's quote: "Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it"

And more importantly:
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
