I was volunteering in the church baby nursery this past Sunday morning, and it was nice to have a little snuggle with my sleepy baby boy. But then I had to put him in the exersaucer so that I could change another child’s dirty diaper, and this is what I saw when I came back…

Little joys

I must confess, one of the things I like most about taking all four kids to the store with me is the way some people react when they see our little circus in the grocery cart. I absolutely love the older men and women who will stop to ooh and ahh over the kids. Sometimes they’ll talk about how many kids they raised, and sometimes they’ll just say, “Wow, you’re a busy mom!” or something of that variety. But they always say it with a smile. Which, in turn, makes me smile.

Jaden’s new favorite place to play! It looks like we have another musician on our hands!
8 Months Old!

Jaden Christopher has given us (almost) nothing but joy and blessings in the 8 months since his birth. He has a laid-back, wonderful personality, and has been a great sleeper since very early on (a definite plus for Mom and Dad!).
He seems to be a go-getter like his big brother, as he’s crawling everywhere and pulling up to stand wherever he can. One day this week I’m pretty sure he hit his head at least five times, because while he’s physically able to stand, he’s not quite mature enough to know danger when he sees it! Caleb was walking at 9 months, so we’ll have to see if Jaden keeps up with that precedent!
Jaden’s favorite time of day is after his evening feeding (around 9pm), when his siblings are in bed and he gets to hang out with Mommy and Daddy and look in the window at his adorable reflection.

Yesterday, I was feeding Jaden a cereal/applesauce mixture when I needed to go administer some discipline for one of the girls. When I came back, this is what I found. Sweet Caleb thought he should help his brother finish his breakfast. I’m not sure how much breakfast he actually got in his mouth, though.
