4 months

riley wells turned 4 months on saturday. i was ok with him being 3 months but 4 months just proved to me that he is growing up way too fast. life with 2 seems to fly by so much faster.

today while laughing with my kids, smiling at them and loving them...i was reminded how lucky i am to be home with them. i am so thankful i get to wake up to them and go to sleep to them. yes the days are often long but i love them. i am thankful for the tired because the tired means i am doing my job as a mom. a job i love.

so buster, at 4 months you are the longest little kid. as aunt sha-sha said, you seem to be able to wrap all around me. you sleep like a champ - from 7 at night to 8 the next morning. i love our little conversations of "coos." loud noises and sudden movements startle the mess out of you...and for some reason your daddy's voice really gets you. your little smile is just like your sisters. i love that you share that. your ears, however, appear to be mine. for that i am sorry. blame the mcpeters genes on that one. your hair hasn't grown much and i am dying to see what kind of hair you will have. you still like to be swaddled when you sleep but you no longer like to be rocked. you love your mama...and i kinda like it that way. happy 4 months sweet boy.
