Boden

Boden is now 7 months old....I cannot believe it! It seemed like I waited forever for him to arrive and did not know at all what to expect with his arrival as to how it would affect everyone's lives. He has been a blessing to us all. He is so delightful to be around. He has been an extremely content baby from the start. In the hospital I thought something might be wrong with him since he never cried and seemed to sleep so well. That good behavior continued and I am still in awe of how easy it has been. He is now just starting to sit up a bit. He really enjoys standing up. He has stood up by himself while holding onto the couch and will imitate walking as I carry him across the room. He babbles, belly laughs and drools. He is getting his two bottom teeth in at the same time right now. He has been awaking more at night lately (about every hour or so). I blame that on my extreme irritability and lack of patience with my other children, but all is good right? Boden wants to be a big kid like his brother and sissy. He looks up to them with awe and gives them huge smiles which only makes them smile which sometimes is a huge feat! Boden has been a wonderful addition to our family. I am so thankful to get to spend his first Thanksgiving with him this week. A kind of neat note...I found this website while googling his name. It is http://www.miniboden.com/. They have the cutest clothes for kids! Too cool. I also saw on Meritcare's website that there are some other Boden babies being born. I had never heard of that name before I found it in a baby book. :)
