Family bits and pieces

Trey is learning how to play more gently near Jonathan. Jonathan takes things pretty well - we think he's going to grow up to be a tough little boy. The other night in the middle of the night, Jonathan woke up and I went in to see what he needed. There was Trey in the dark standing at Jonathan's crib trying to console him saying "oh baby". Trey shouldn't have been out of bed, but it was really sweet to see him caring about his brother. I put Trey back in bed, gave Jonathan his pacifier, and then we all went back to sleep.



Jonathan likes to share with Trey ... or so Trey thinks. Trey will sometimes randomly take Jonathan's pacifier and start sucking on it.

At almost 2 1/2 months, Jonathan is holding his head up really well - he has excellent neck and upper body control. This is him after his bath tonight. I think he looks like he is ready to take off.
I was trying to get a picture of his funny hair in the back - it lays horribly and he has a thick dark patch at the bottom that he has had since he was born.

You have precious boys. They are going to grow up so close. What a blessing. There is something so, so special about boys. {grin}

Isn't it an adventure...Jack likes Emma's pacifier too even though he never took one when he was little.

I'm sure it's probably a little frustrating for you, but I think it's so cute that Trey borrows Jonathan's pacifier! I'm glad you got a picture of that!

These are adorable, Joy!

Jacob (our youngest) just decided he was done with his pacifier a few months ago. Mostly I was just as glad, so I don't have to take it away from him. I think he's going to have to be a "tough guy", too, with 2 older brothers. Sometimes, if I need Jacob to be "contained" for a few minutes, I'll put him in the crib or the playpen with a couple of toys and have the older boys come talk to him. They'll end up singing and dancing or playing peek-a-boo, and Jacob will be squealing with laughter. It's hilarious. Enjoy all these precious times!
