Four Weeks Old & A Giant Bear

Disclaimer:  Guard is spoiled.  You know, I know.  Let's just get that out of the way.

I can't believe that Guard is four weeks old.  Time just flies (except between the hours of five and ten in the evening, which is fussy time).  He has been so much fun and brought so much love into our home.  The kids adore him and Greg and I are crazy about him.
He is already attached to his binky, is now sleeping for six hours at a time during the night, doesn't cry when Coal licks his face, loves to go for walks, tolerates his swing, sleeps incredibly well on his tummy, wants to be held always, and his nickname from Mom is squirmy wormy.
We are so lucky to have him!

I have wanted to do this with all my kids and decided that now is my chance.  I broke down and bought one of those ginormous bears from Costco.  Greg thought it was silly, but the kids were so excited.  You should have seen Greg carrying it out of the store.  He had it in a head lock and Enoch and Kate were each propping up a leg.  It was quite a sight.
My plan is to take picture of Guard every month and then year to show how much he has grown.  Please remind me if I forget!
So tiny:
 The rest of the kids wanted in on the fun.
(Whose feet are bigger?)
My four, super amazing kids (and a giant bear).  What fun!

As always, you are a very clever and creative mother. I love all of these fun pictures with the bear. And I know how much ALL of your children love stuffed animals. They must be in heaven with this big new bear and with the new little guy whom you are spoiling with love!
