On one hand, I cant believe its already been a month. On the other hand… you mean he wasn’t here all along?

Roland is growing fast. He is beautiful, and tolerates a lot from his siblings. He is almost 11 lbs. now and still gaining. If you are lucky enough to catch a smile, it will melt you instantly. He has a smile that will make all the girls swoon. And air bubbles that will make any college frat jock envious. That goodness he takes a pacifier, otherwise he would be crying a lot more. heres a few more pics.

Elliott was reading to Roland, then requested Roland turn the pages.

Neela was trying to share her sunglasses with Roland.

He rarely cries like a baby should. I often find myself with my “mommy-ears” perked up and my brain says something like “is that a cat screaming?? We dont own a cat!” then I quickly realize that is the cry of our baby in the next room. It can be ear-piercing. But I think he is dropping that little by little. Soon, he will only be laughing, giggling, and saying things like “Momma, you are the best Mom on the planet, I love you. Would you mind changing my diaper? Oh, by the way - is next week ok with you for me to start using the toilet?” yeah.
