Brag time

You know I feel so blessed. People are constantly saying how great Kyrie is...that she never cries or gets upset really, she behaves when we are with a group of people, she sleeps all night and so on. And you know she really is a great baby! I just feel so blessed that the Lord has given us this sweet girl. She does sleep all night - 10 hours - and has been for a while now. You rarely hear that babies sleep that long at night. She really doesn't cry much - mainly when she is ready to eat and I haven't gotten it ready for her already or when she is getting tired she gets a little whiny. She smiles and laughs and is just so happy majority of the time. She seems content. Now she does squirm a lot and wants to be on the move or standing up or something, but that is because she wants to explore all these new things and check things out. Having people tell me that they hope their baby is just like Kyrie really makes me feel good. It makes me thankful. It gives me joy.

Here is a picture we took of her at 4 months! I am going to start doing this picture each month and watch her grow and see all the new things she is doing! We are a little behind, but a 5 month picture will be here soon! Wow - she is already pushing 6 months...

But Kyrie is growing SO fast! She can almost sit up all by herself. She kind of still falls to the side every once in a while. And I think she will be crawling within a few days or weeks. Anytime now. She has made so much progress towards that in just the past few days - it's crazy! She does roll all over the place. You put her on one side of the living room and next thing you know she is on the other side! So I have a feeling that when she does start crawling Mommy will be very worn out by the end of the day and will be getting plenty of exercise because she will be on the move and all over the place! :) But I am so excited for this next big milestone!

We welcomed my 4th nephew into the world yesterday around 6:55pm! Owen James - he weighed 7lbs  5oz. So sweet and very exciting!! He was so tiny - crazy to think Kyrie was that small just a few months ago - how time flies. But he really felt like a feather when I held him. It is so exciting to see a new life come into the world. Pure joy. Out family gatherings this year for the holidays is going to be blast! I can't wait.
