I love babies

I love how babies make little squeaks and funny noises when they sleep.
I love how they tuck their arms in close and clinch their fists up by their face when they eat.
I love how they always have sweet milk breath.
I love how they are in a perpetual state of half asleep and half awake.
(Austin said, "Mommy, he's faking. Just a minute ago I saw his eyes open, but now he's trying to pretend he's asleep.")
I love how they surprise themselves when they burp or poop or the shocked look on their face when they accidentally hit themselves with their own fist.
I love how they stretch when they are waking up.
I love how they snuggle and fit so perfectly in my arms.
I love marveling at every part of their tiny body.

We are so blessed with this baby.

I really enjoyed that. I cracked up when I read what Austin said, too cute. Love the pic where he is holding his baby brother!

Isn't it amazing how much your love grows with each additional child. A couple I'll add..I love when you go to pick them up and they stick their little bottoms out as they scrunch up. I love how when they are crying as a mom you can take them and they immediately stop simply because you are holding them. I laughed at the hitting themself one. We laugh at Katie all the time b/c she does that. They are a blessing and ditto on your boys being so blessed to have not only have you and Bobby--but your entire family to love and lead them to the Lord.
