These picture are all a good representation of what she looks like these days... asleep. So far, she is very calm, even when her brothers are creating havoc and when the dog is barking. James follows her around and says "mine.. mine!" When he holds her, he is gentle for about 30 seconds before he starts poking and pulling. When mommy rescues the baby, he throws a huge temper tantrum. Hopefully, he'll adjust soon.
Proud brothers. David especially loves having a sister and picks her a flower almost everyday. On the way home, he requested two more siblings. ... we won't be thinking about that for a LONG time.
5 days later... David turns 5! Joseph's mom helped us out by throwing a birthday party. David was lucky to have 9 cousins in town plus his Grandma Mumford, so it turned out to be quite the party. He requested hamburgers, watermelon, chips, pickles, and chocolate cake. His cousins decorated a chair just for him and he was royally spoiled.
Here is a close up of his face.. is that excitement or what? We are so grateful to have David in our family. He is so patient with his little brother and showers us with love every day. It is fun to watch him grow. Yesterday, he finally mastered pumping his legs on the swing. He also loves to be read to and to have things explained to him. His favorite gifts? new legos and Megatron!
