That said, I have to also acknowledge the blessing it is to watch these 4 little people develop their own personalities, likes, dislikes, talents, and sense of humor :)
Cooper has been an amazing brother with the coming of Lillian, Marshall and Leila have adjusted, but still demand my time and energy in very taxing levels. Lillian is a blessed angel from heaven and gets better every day :) you would think the newborn would be the most work, but she's absolutely not. She's very mild and sweet and requires only a few things to make her the happiest girl around. She has slept through the night since she was a few days old and when she does need something, the most you get from her is little squeaks and grunts until she's satisfied.
The brightest spot in our week is always friday/parkday:
Sometimes I'll turn around and see this:
Did someone leave the laundry baskets out?Nope.. just the little turtles creeping down the hall:
Leila is the sweetest sister, this morning she was asleep in my bed when I had to suck the snot out of Lillians nose so she could breath while I nursed her. She woke up to Lillian screaming (after all... who likes to get snot sucked out of their nose, right?) and drowsily said "It be okay baby, don't cry." She kept repeating that until I was done and Lillian had calmed back down. She then rolled over and went back to sleep. Sweet girlie :)
Cooper often asks if he can hold the baby and will do so for long periods of time. He's better than having a bouncy chair or a baby swing because he sings songs to her and shush's her way better than a battery powered machine ever could. Almost every Sunday at church he wants to hold her and asks if he can till the end of the meeting... I hit the jackpot with this kid.

Is that what I have to do to get an easy baby that sleeps through the night early on? Have 4 of them? haha, you are so right, it's tough but so totally worth it.
