Brothers

Sometimes its crazy to me how much features in Ky and Kosse's faces resemble each other.  I try to see myself in Kosse's face but I wonder if there is some sort of psychological reason why it's hard for me.

Grandpa and Jumping


I loved Grandpa visiting me....

and I loved slobbering on him!
I'm checking out my newest adventure...


I think I like it in here...is slobbering allowed?  Although, I can't suck my feet in this position.

Kosse gets extremely frustrated in this sometimes because he wants the toy to detach.  He pulls and pulls at it but it won't budge.  He gets upset and screams at it and develops an intense focus on pulling it up.  I have to take him out and place his attention elsewhere. For such a happy, laid-back baby, its strange seeing him get so frustrated.  On the flipside, he squeals with delight to bounce when he lets the toy go.

Four Years and Five Months

I can hardly believe how fast children grow!  Milestones in Kosse's 5th month include rolling over!  He is more than capable of the back to stomach roll and has made it from stomach to back, although he is not as masterful at that yet.  Sometimes the expression on his face makes me wonder what he has on his mind....but most of the time I think he is ready to go, go, go!

What is brother doing, moma?

The Littlest Things Warm Your Heart

As Kosse gains more control of his movements, I have enjoyed watching him pick up toys or decide to throw them down or roll/scoot toward something, etc.  But the sweetest thing happened when I was holding him while rinsing out dishes at the sink and he snuggled his head down on my chest and sighed.  He was so content and I was filled with love and warm feeling to know that I could give him this comfort.  This morning he again snuggled his head next to my neck, said ah and fell asleep.  As he grows from my baby boy to a big boy to a little man and on, and no longer wants cuddles from moma, I hope that I can always remember this simple time and how precious it truly is.  God definitely blesses us giving us the joys of parenthood!

To slobber on or to slobber on..

I can't quite decide if Kosse is more excited about playing with toys these days or soaking them with his slobber.  He doesn't discriminate I've been slobbered plenty.  While holding him above me in the "airplane" position  to get some giggles out of him,  I even got his slobber in my nose!  Gross!
