My little man has quite the sweet heart. He loves his mama. He sometimes stops what he is doing, and if needed takes his paci out, to come give me a kiss. Today at Target he wanted to hug me and have me hold him instead of riding in the cart. He climbs up with me on the couch to snuggle and watch Curious George. At bedtime, he wants to be held and rocked, read to and loved on before being put in his crib for the night. "Thank you" is often on his lips, especially when I've just given him food. Whenever we say, "Let's pray" he reaches out to hold our hands. At the park with strangers or whenever we are with friends, he usually ends up trying to kiss another child. Now he also hits or pushes or doesn't want to share with other kids, but for the most part, he is a sweetie. I love my boy. I think he learned all of this sweetness from his daddy. I love them so!

And Baby Makes 4

We are getting so excited to meet our second little man on July 4th! (If all goes to plan) I am feeling huge and tired, but very blessed at the same time. Everyday tasks are getting more difficult, but I have an amazing and helpful husband! Levi is as sweet, curious and mischievous as ever. We have been pointing out babies for months now and pointing to my belly and saying, "baby brother." I have been praying that the adjustment goes well for Levi, that he would be a kind and gentle older brother, and that he would still receive all the love and attention he needs once his brother arrives. I can't believe we are about to become a family of 4 and that I will have 2 rascals in the house! Phew! I am tired already, but ready for lots of laughs, memories, funny stories and "Dennis the Mennis" times like we had this week. Levi got into the cabinet and poured cornstarch ALL over the floor. While I went to the bathroom. For 1 1/2 minutes. I am in for it!! Our sweet friends took some maternity/family photos for us a few weeks ago and we love them!

Wow! I am so thankful!

God is so good to us! We thank Him for this new life and our many, many blessings!
