4 month sign off

Reece is four months as of yesterday! Time has flown since we've been home. He's doing quite well and has been fun to watch improve all of the time. His favorite place to play is his activity gym, but sitting in the Bumbo seat is a close second. He's so strong!
Ben loves his brother and thinks it's fun to play with him in his gym area until I tell him to get off his brother...still working on being gentle. I just don't think Ben knows his own strength yet. But, he does give lots of kisses and hugs and smiles and is soaking in how to be a good big brother all of the time.
As parents, it seems strange to me that he's been home almost as long as he was in the NICU already. While we were going through our experience I remember someone told me that it's only 10 weeks of an entire life. It will seem like nothing years from now. You know, they are probably right. Our world seemed to change drastically fast during those ten weeks, but life is becoming easier as we better understand what our "normal" is now...with 2 kids!
Thanks for being our on-line friends. Thanks for praying for us and holding us up to our heavenly father throughout this process. My plan is to call this my last blog entry, print all of the entries for Reece's future reading. His life is a miracle. I feel he deserves to have his "story" in print for when he's old enough to read it.
Lots of love to you all! -Sue
