1566. celebrating a sweet friend and her expected baby boy
1567. watching Natalie play with Porter and seeing what a great big sister she will be
1568. free diapers
1569. lunch with a friend after way too long
1570. a quiet evening with Scott while the bigger kiddos were with grandparents and Porter was in bed
1571. how Porter will smile at people but will still tuck his head into my shoulder and act shy
1572. Porter wrapping his arms around my neck and squeezing me tight
1573. Porter's open-mouth kisses
1574. texts and phone calls from Ella Beth as she spends a couple of days with Mimi
1575. hearing Ella Beth talk on the phone and listening to how "big" she sounds
1576. Landon getting 1:1 attention - the "middle child syndrome" has hit him full force and he needs all of the extra attention he can get right now
1578. having to wash Landon's pants and PJs twice a week - it used to annoy me that I had to do his laundry so often b/c I never get a break from it, but perspective has shown me that I am lucky that Landon is a healthy and full-blown boy who just gets dirty being a full-blown boy :)
1579. new dresses for Ella Beth - I am so thankful she is petite and can still wear "little girl" dresses because there are very few cute (or appropriate) dresses in sizes 6 and up.
1580. Porter's elephant sleepers - he has had the same sleeper in Preemie, Newborn, 3 month, 6 month, and he has a 9 month. They have been my favorite, and it's fun to watch how he's grown in each one.
1581. grandparents who are generous with their time, energy, and money to treat the kiddos and make them feel extra special every now and then
1582. realizing how little money it actually takes to make our kiddos feel extra special - what they crave most is attention, affection, and knowing they are loved
Psalm 44:8, "In God have we made our boast all the day long, And we will give thanks unto thy name for ever."
