Changes

Time just seems to be just passing by so fast lately.































Tatton is in pre-school. He's only three and most days



when he's running around, naked sometimes, not listening



to his Mom, he is a true, all boy, three year old. But he has grown up



in so many ways lately and I want him to slow down! He has become



more mature, that's not exactly the right word but that's



all I can think of to describe how he's becoming a better big



brother to Lincoln, and he really takes care of Harrison and is



extremely independent these days.












Lincoln has come into his own little person the last few months.



He used to be pretty quite, and so easy going. And he is still



very shy and just does his own thing. But when he gets mad,



usually when it involves his big brother, he can give looks



that kill and he usually finds something to throw in his little



fit of rage. Not that I condone his behavior but I'm glad



that he is coming out of his shell. I love hearing him start to talk.



It's fun to be able to get an idea of what's going on in his little head.



He's so sweet asking "where's tatto? where's tatto?" when



he's gone at school and



saying "hay-hee. hay-hee"(harrison) all the time!



He is everywhere now, I can't believe that just in



June when we went to Disneyland that he was still crawling.



Now that he can walk and run, he



puts right along with Tatton, he just thinks he's as big a boy as him too.















Harrison has grown so much and it kills me that he's not



just a tiny newborn anymore. He has been smiling since day one



and he just grins all day long, even with two big brothers



loving him all day. Shortly after Lincoln was born, I really felt like



we were needing to have another baby soon.



So I stopped breastfeeding Lincoln around 6 mo



because I knew the next baby was supposed to be close to Lincoln.



Aaron and I didn't know what to expect with having 3 boys,



especially when we really had a hard time with Tatton



getting used to Lincoln. Tatton loved Lincoln, there were



sweet moments, but there were more just flat out hit, kick, pinch..



anything moments of sheer dislike with him. It's been



a long road getting those two to a more loving relationship.



Needless to say there was nervousness about bringing another baby



into our family, but we also felt like we were doing the right thing.



And as it turns out, both Tatton and Lincoln l-o-v-e Harrison.



They just adore him, want to hold him constantly, bring



blankets and binkies to him, sing to him all day. Harrison



has truly been such a blessing in our home because



he has brought Tatton and Lincoln together and is somehow



a little peacemaker amongst crazy boys.
