First let me say that I am sorry I haven't posted any new pics in a while. I have been taking a bunch of pics and video, but just last night when I was going to upload them my batteries died and I wasn't able to do it-- and of course I didn't have any new batteries! I will get some more today so you can see all three of our cuties.
Also, I realized that I haven't really updated you on the other kids in a while... so here goes:
Nia is doing pretty well. She is working through some jealousy with Nico. She only ever seems to want to play with a toy if HE is already playing with it... then, of course, it's her favorite thing. She also likes to tattle and always wants to know exactly what Nico has done wrong when she hears us say "Nico, no." from the other room. We are using the phrase, "mind your business little lady" all too often. That being said, she is a big help. She clearly loves both of her brothers and it's really cute to see her and Nico mimic each other often.
Josiah is great. He's so chunky. I love him so much and I am trying to spend good time with him each day. Today we went for a morning walk and he was just cooing and smiling away before he drifted off to sleep. Knowing this is our last "baby" baby (we will likely adopt at least one more child-- probably an older girl-- at some point...) I don't want to miss a second of it and I worry that he's sort of falling through the cracks with all the commotion in our home.
Now that Nico is doing well at home we are going to try to ease him into other activities every day. Today I think I am going to bring him to my Weight Watchers meeting-- I don't know how that will go, but I will leave if I have to. I just want him to get used to "normal" errands. I haven't brought him out by myself yet (other than on a walk) so I think this will be good.
Please keep your family in our prayers. Nick is going to try to get back to work next week, and so that's when "reality" will really kick in. It's a totally different reality from what we are used to, but a really good reality none the less.
