2 Months of Graham

This boy has stolen my sleep, I mean my heart:) These past two months have been sleepless but totally worth it. He is my Graham and I love him. We all do. He has such a sweet disposition and is very expressive. His cry has this cute, high pitch sound that makes you feel sorry for him but also smile at the same time. Lila and Calvin love holding Graham. They are always saying how cute Graham is and how much they love Graham. What mom wouldn't love hearing her children say how much they adore each other? I never imagined such joy could exist. In those brief moments, my soul is at peace. It's hard for me to live in the moment sometimes. My mind is constantly thinking of all that needs to get done and with 4 little ones at my feet, very little of it ever does. But in those sweet and tender moments of love, I can embrace the here and now. I love my life even more with our little Graham in it.

He had is 2 month check-up and he is definitely smaller than his older brothers were.

Graham's Baby Blessing

The hustle and bustle of getting our family ready for church is exhausting. Then once we are there, sitting in Sacrament meeting for over an hour with now, 4 little ones, drains the little amount of energy we have left. It's all worth it, but especially on baby blessing days. Baby blessings are such a sweet moment for both baby and daddy but it's over and done with so quickly. I'm grateful for a thoughtful friend who wrote down Graham's blessing for me. I was a little preoccupied during the blessing when I noticed Emmett had peed through his diaper and pants while sitting on my lap. Even through that, I still heard the precious blessing Chris gave to Graham. It was also special to have my dad and brother, Scott here to participate in the blessing circle. Moments like these, I feel the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ even stronger. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know He lives and He is the Savior of the world. I know His priesthood has been restored to the earth. I'm so grateful for Chris and his worthiness to hold the priesthood authority and administer blessings. Graham may not remember this day but I will tell him all about it when he's older. 

Here's pics from the day:

 We all love him dearly more and more each day.
