One week til lift off!

Sadly, I found out none of the computers in this house will take my camera's card, so I can't upload any pics. You'll just have to wait and trust me that Malachi is getting even cuter. :)

We booked our plane tickets!!!! We fly out October 5th at 7am. Can't WAIT. I miss Michael a TON. This time away has definitely made my heart grow fonder. By the time we reunite, it will have been a month! I know that's nothing compared to what other people have to endure (shout out to you, Erin), but it was tough nonetheless. I now realize what a great daddy he is to our boys. Here's a short list of what I've come to appreciate all over again:

(Disclaimer to my fam: Know that you have been great to us while we've invaded your home. I appreciate ya'll as well!! There's just no replacing Daddy, as you know!)

- He's incredibly patient. Way more than me.
- He makes the extra effort to play and have fun with Josiah. Little man has missed that.
- He comes and takes the crying baby from me, without asking.
- He speaks encouraging words.
- He makes me laugh. A lot.
- He will (gently) force me to have time alone because he knows I need it.

Ok, obviously this list isn't exhaustive, but it's hard to think when a baby is screaming. *sigh*

Speaking of the little screamer, he's doing better. Week 2 and 3 were pretty bad. Cried all the time. Even right after he ate--isn't that when he's supposed to be the happiest? haha I've tried many things, but he's finally beginning to calm down and actually sleep by himself. Not sure what worked and what didn't. Still trying everything. Perhaps he just misses his daddy?!

T-7 days!!

Josiah's song

You know the classic "clean up" song. And you know "happy birthday." Well, when Josiah cleans up, he combines the two. Goes a little like this...

"Cleam up, cleam up, happy to you" Repeat.

Love that kid.

Baby is here!

Ok, so I'm almost 2 weeks late. And I'm not even going to post much today. I'll write more when I don't have a child in my lap. Oh, wait....

Malachi Li joined us August 29th at 10.12am. He weighed in at 7lbs. 8oz. (TINY compared to Josiah's 8.12!!) and 20inches. He's been so fun to hold and cuddle!

I don't even have a pic for ya...so sad. Next time!
