Samuel Keeps on Growin'




Not only is he the sweetest baby, he's also the cutest.. to me anyway. Samuel is not sleeping through the night yet. We put him to bed between 7:00-7:30, depending on when I finish eating dinner and when I am able to stop playing with him.. he's all smiles these days and it's hard to break free from enjoying the lad for the sake of bed time. He is sleeping in his room now. "His room" is actually he and Silas' room. I am keeping him in his moses basket and transporting that into his crib at night. When he wakes up for the first feeding which is about 2ish am, I pop a squat on Silas' bed and nurse him there. It's so cozy in their room that I drift off sometimes.. After that he sleeps until around 5 at which point I bring him back into our room.

Samuel is also starting to laugh at this point. It's so sweet. I remember thinking that it was the best thing with each of the kids. Somehow, through God's kindness really, we are able to delight even more in Samuel's laughter. Something about parenting a new born changes with each child.. we are able to enjoy it more and more. It's just so awesome. We are so thankful God's kindness to us. Truly we know we are undeserving, yet the Lord remains kind. What a sweet privilege.
