Nothing like...

A sleeping babe- love how these little ones sleep- so cute all spread out. 

 

A Monday update from the littlest members of the Lyons' family:

 

Josiah says he is learning to roll on his side and loves to talk, smile and giggle.  He just went for his 4 month check-up with all his shots and he is 12lb. at 4 months.

He says his siblings are crazy but he loves to watch them all day long.  He just started sitting in his little bouncy exersaucer- the doc says his head is a little flat. :) 

 

Lydia says "I made it!"  Her newest words as she learning how to go on the potty.  At week #4- our tireless efforts at potty training are finally starting to stick! :)  Praise the Lord!  Just this weekend- she went in the church potty twice and is finally going quickly when I stick her on the potty.  Yes, she has lots of accidents still but I feel hopeful!  Love her scream and enthusiasm when she does go and says "I made it!"  And she loves putting stickers on her chart and getting 2 M & Ms when she goes.  And Jeremiah cheers her long.  Last week, we had lots of thunder storms and Lydie hates storms.  She screamed a few times at night but quickly says- It's ok- it's just Mom-mom- referring to the Thunder.  At the beach she thought my mom out on the porch was a monster outside her room- but now she says- "It's ok- it's just Mom-mom."  So funny!  Lydia is having lots of practice learning to obey and not whine in this season of 2s. 

 

Jeremiah says "Mom, let's play swim ministry- after his lessons last week."  Jeremiah is doing better without his blanket- still wants us to pray for him before bed.  With the death of the naps is the death of the naptime for him.  It was bound to come sometime.  So Josiah sleeps in his car seat in the all while Lydia is in our room and Jeremiah has "quiet time" listening to audio books on tape in his room.  For now- it works.  Jeremiah is really growing right now in his prayer life- he loves to pray!  I just love watching him mainly model his Daddy in praying.  He has such great prayers and wants to pray every night at dinner and for anyone who is in need so if you need some prayer- ask the little man.  For the most part- he takes good care of his siblings.  His latest thing he loves is baseball- we got a foam bat and ball that he can play in the house and he loves doing that with Daddy.  Of course, wrestling is a must too! 

 

Love these little Lyons!  A Monday update from the Lyons' den!
