Spotlight on Little P

I usually don't get too much of a response when I post about my kids. I know, I know you're all struck speechless at the sight of their beauty. But, just for the record, I do have some kids and although some may wonder...I do love them way more than Twilight! So, I think they deserve a post all to themselves. First spotlight, little P.
Little P is the happiest 9 month old baby in the world! He loves to smile and literally screams with joy whenever someone looks at him. P is very sensitive and hates to be in loud places. He loves music, fruit, wrappers, baths, lotion, his siblings, and snuggling. My other kids have only snuggled if they were sick, but P will just lay in my arms for hours. He has the most beautiful eyes and sometimes I am literally shocked when I look at them!
P was such a struggle for us to have. I was so sick, more than ever before, and had problems through the whole thing. As a family we sacrificed so much to have him, and so he really has been "our" baby. He was born 6 weeks early and weighed 7 lbs. 10 ozs. He was big then and has stayed big, already busting out of some 12 month clothes. He is just soooo tall! Our favorite thing about him has got to be his hair. He has this patch on top that WILL NOT stay down, no matter what. I kind of wonder when/if that will ever resolve itself!

A day does not go by that I am not brought to my knees in gratitude for my children. Each one has come at a physical cost to me, some more than others, but I know I would do it all again for any of them. They are our greatest blessings, the most fun I have ever had, and the most rewarding thing I will ever do.

Let me be the first to say something about this. Each one of our kids is different and we strive to make sure that they all are treated as such. That they all have their own opportunities to employ their talents and hobbies. "P" as the youngest probably gets more than his fair portion of attention. He is so special and so cute. He being here in our family humbles me and is a testimony to me that Father has a plan for us.

6 weeks early and 7 lbs. 10 oz? Holy cow, he would've been like 14 pounds or something. That is one majorly huge kid!
He does have gorgeous eyes. Such a pretty shade of blue!
