Brotherhood

One of the neatest things is watching your children grow up together and develop a bond that will last a lifetime.
More and more the boys are playing together.



Lord I pray that your hand be on this blessing bond of brotherhood. I pray you watch over their evolving relationship and make it created in love, loyalty, patience, and humbleness. I pray that they both grow to know your love God and in return share it with each other. I pray they make joyful memories to last a lifetime. I pray they are quick to be there for each other in the good and tough times. May they be quick to forgive when the other has hurt them. May they know that their relationship will endure all things if they are faithful to your guidance. I pray they be gentle with each others emotions, but couragous in spirit. I pray they are slow to judge, quick to listen and comfort one another. May they be slow to anger each other and quicker to share. I pray there is never a divide between them that they cannot resolve. Let the joy between them be a catalyst for great passion and motivation. May your light shine through their relationship and touch others. I know you have blessed me with each of these baby boys and I pray they grow to understand they are beyond blessed to have each other. Thank you Jesus for your guidance and presence in our lives. May we grow to honor you in all we do!
Amen

11 months

My sweet little cherub is 11 months today!!!!!!

He is full of energy and spunk.
1 more month till 1 year. Unbelievable!!!
So he is eating all table foods now. He has yet to turn something down. He loves to eat!
He has some breastmilk and supplements with formula.
He is down to 1 wake-up at night. I began refusing any more than 1 night feeding or wake-up call. We will try to eliminate them alltogether soon.
He has at least 5 teeth and a number of them poking through. He is not a fan of us poking around in there.
He loves to walk around the house and follow his big brother from room to room.
He is into everything!!!!
He is still affectionate and love attention.
He likes other children. It was the cutest thing last weekend when he kept touching my friends little twin boys. He just stared at them, touched them and even tried to sit on them. He is very interested in other young children.

I am loving his baby side and am not a huge fan of him entering toddlerhood.
Until then I will soak up all aspects of my baby.
