The boys are growing so quickly - it's so upsetting. There is part of me that can't wait for them to get bigger and enjoy the cuddles and hear "Mama" and watch them figure things out, but I love where they are. I love how tiny and pudgy they are. I love the baby face, the cooing, the giggles. They are such sweet little boys.
Mymy can now roll from belly to back and back to belly. He still gets stuck sometimes, but he's pretty much got it figured out. His newest thing is "singing" when he's tired. As we're bouncing him in his chair, he just goes "Ahhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" until he passes out. It's so cute. It's also a great way of telling us that he's about to fall asleep. Sometimes you don't even have to look at him to know he's sleeping - he's just stopped his singing. He literally "sang" until his eyes closed one night. We have to stop ourselves from laughing sometimes. If you do wind up waking him inadvertently, he'll just look at you all confused and then close his eyes or just go back to singing.
A few days ago we were at the grocery store and Ben was putting Ducky into the stroller. When he snapped the buckle, it accidentally caught his belly. Poor lil man started crying; but I held him a little while and he was good. There's still a little red mark, but it doesn't bother him anymore. We just feel a bit extra bad because everything seems to happen to the Duck Man. He's the one who had a hard time being delivered; he's the one who couldn't breathe for 2 minutes after he was born; he's the one who got jaundice; he's the one who rolled off our bed at a month old. Poor guy. I don't think Monkey has had anything happen to him yet, it's all been Darry.
We tried green beans with the boys on Sunday. They liked them! Mikey, I think, will eat anything. He loves peas, loves green beans. I think he just likes eating. Ducky seems to like green beans a little more than peas. He'll actually open his mouth for the green beans (sometimes). When Ben was feeding him last night, he grabbed onto the spoon and pulled it into his mouth! He's such a smart boy! And while Micah will typically polish off an entire container of baby food, Darius has only done it twice - and only with the green beans. On Friday we'll try carrots. I'm assuming Monkey will like them. Not so sure about Darry yet. Mymy is so good with baby food, though. He figured it out quickly and now whines at me if I don't feed him as quickly as he'd like. Duck Man took some time figuring out that what was on the spoon was food, and he seems to eat better for his Daddy.
They love Ben so much. Darius has figured out that the sound of the door means that someone is here, and he'll usually light up as soon as Ben walks into the room (if he's mid-meltdown, Daddy's arrival doesn't rank on his list of cares at that moment). I love to watch the three of them interact. It's enough to melt your heart. Daddy Ben thrills me. Almost as much as Husband Ben. God has blessed me with the most wonderful man.
I love my guys.
