6 months old

Because one purpose of this blog is for posterity, I must include some details that may be of no interest to anyone except August's grandmothers. :-)
At six months old, this boy is weighing in at 14lbs. 13 oz, and 25.75 inches long. In other words, he's a bit of a peanut. But a very very charming peanut, at that.

As for what he is like these days, I'll let the pictures tell you....


Sweet and tender.

Jumpy and vigorous.



Playful, flirty.




And at times, concerned. :-)

August is a deeply sweet-natured little boy, and by far, our most laid-back and content baby. He adores his sisters, loves to laugh, be tickled, and say "da-da" constantly (and indiscriminately). He likes rolling across a room, and is getting close to crawling too! That will open up a whole new world of crazy for this household once I start having to chase after him. :-) 

3 months old!

August is now officially out of the sleepy-all-the-time newborn stage, and has assumed his role as dear brother and resident-baby of the family. He continues to be an incredibly laid-back, content and cuddly little boy. We are so thankful for this! Serene, is another word, that fits him quite well. Dream-baby is another that comes to mind. :-) God apparently knew my limitations, and thus mercifully gave me an EASY third child.

At three months old, August enjoys the following:


*rolling over
















































































*smiling and cooing






















*playing on his "activity" mat



















*gazing at his sisters





























*sleeping---you have no idea how much he enjoys this one in particular! He pretty much keeps himself on a three hour routine: he wakes up to eat, stays awake for about an hour, and then conks out for the next two hours, only to start the routine over again, and again. Like I said, he is an easy-peasy baby. Hallelujah!



















We thank God for you, August. You bring sweetness, simplicity, cuddles, and great joy to our lives everyday!
