Mornings!

A quick post. I am happy to say that at 3 months old Holden is sleeping pretty good. He goes to bed about 9:30 or so for the night and usually wakes up just once around 2-4 a.m. I am doing BabyWise with him. I did it with Tanner too. It helps regulate their sleep/eat patterns. It is just a guide for me but I am more flexible with Holden and we seem to be in a groove. Our mornings always start the same. We(me and my two sons) get up around 6:30 to 7:00 and we start our day in Holden's room. Tanner comes in with his Mickey chair and he has his juice and I have my coffee. We have a thing between the two of us every night after we pray I tell him I love him and I'll see him in the morning for juice and coffee. He says it to me too. It is the sweetest. Now we just include Holden. He will nurse while we pray and read our devotion. I have a short devotion I do with Tanner every morning. Sometimes I think he gets it and sometimes I think he just wants to hurry up and so he can go and play. Its a kids devotion book I downloaded to my Ipad and I read the short scripture that goes with it. These mornings are so special to me. I rock in the rocker and ask God for the strength to be th best mommy I can to these very special boys. I never thought I'd have 1 kid much less 2. Tanner is so cute with his brother! He copies everything I say. I call him mama's chunk monk!! As in chunky monkey. Tanner bends down to talk to him and Holden's little face just lights up when he hears him. I have been praying hard over their bond as brothers. I pray they can always be a strength and friend to one another. Holden is the sweetest little baby. He laughs and smiles all the time. He has the sweetest blue eyes and such chubby cheeeks. God is such an awesome creator. A few pictures.
