I was browsing though some old pictures and found this one.
Here is #5 and sweet baby #6.
This is the day he came home from the hospital.
They are pretty cute huh? Wanna see if that kid has grown?
Maybe he has…
Just a little.
A couple of days ago #6 REFUSED to go to sleep. This is pretty normal behavior my children. You see we they don't like to miss out on anything. I think they got this from their father 😉 I tried everything, and he would not go to sleep. I got up, and started to collect our stuff to go into the family room so that we could hang out in there and not wake The Man. I turned around and saw this….
He had fallen asleep on *MY* pillow.
He looks pretty comfortable doesn't he?
There's The Man.. fast asleep and his blue eyed mini- me on the other side… MY SIDE.
**disclaimer**
I didn't leave him there.. because it not safe for a baby to sleep on a pillow.. in a big bed so close to the edge etc.. I just thought it was funny that as soon as I stopped holding him and trying to get him to sleep.. he went to sleep! 🙂
This little muffin is 5 months old today. He has to be one of the best children I've ever given birth too (don't tell the others). At 5 months he talks or coo's non-stop. He loves green beans, sweet potatoes, bananas and apples. He loves to smile and to be "strolled" around the house by one of his siblings.
He's come a long way from when he was just a few days old here in the NICU. Just a little 4 pounder! Happy 5 month Birthday #6!
While having a philosophical conversation with #4… He wondered how we could tell if #6 was growing.
It was his idea to bring out "the card". To you this card may seem like a cute little reminder of a baby's stay at the hospital.. but to me, it's a reminder of the time we spent in the NICU. I sat in the rocking chair and that card was hanging on the wall across from me.
For weeks I went to the NICU almost everyday and stared at that card…
I think my problem is that It reminds me I had this little muffin 50 days early… by emergency C section. He doesn't look any worst for the wear now does he?
I don't think he likes to be reminded of that.
