5 Months







Wow! Can't believe its been almost 2 months since I wrote last. Time is def flying by. As you can see, my little Mav is 5 months old. Cannot believe it. I don't even know where to start with this little guy. I never in a million years would have ever thought that this guy would bring SO much joy to our lives. I can't help but smile all day every day. It really is pretty much impossible to have a bad day with him around. I really was nervous about bringing home a full term baby. I had always credited the NICU for our girls being such good babies. I thought it was the scheduling that the NICU put them on or that we had gone through enough with them being early and not being able to come home right away that the Lord decided to bless us with easy infants. Well, I was wrong. This full term baby is just as happy and easy going as they were, if not even more. Sleep on the other hand is another story. The girls were the best sleepers. Maverick, he thinks sleep is over-rated. Why sleep and miss all the action!? He doesn't want to miss a thing. The lack of sleeping really doesn't bother me. He is still super happy all the time, and he's the third kid, so he's getting schlepted(is that how you spell that??) around from one place to the next. Needless to say, I'm really soaking up this "perfect baby" thing. Cause I know pretty soon here he's gonna turn in to a handful. I just know it.

Lots more to catch up on. Hopefully I'll be able to return soon. We had a great time at the river the last week of summer. Taylor waterskiied for the first time. School has started for our 2nd grader, and Devan is about to start preschool on Monday. Taylor started soccer and is loving it! It has been awesome to see her growing in all different ways. Gotten a few DIY projects done around the house and starting many more. Life has been SO incredibly busy but good!! That's all for now.
