8 months

It's gone by so fast! And yet, I can't imagine life before the littlest Murphy joined us. 

Aside from the ongoing cold he's fighting these days, Xavier is doing great. He had his first bath with his brothers this week - wow, space is getting tight in that tub! 

Good thing the big boys usually shower now.

He's hustling around the house, trying to wave and getting all up in the dogs' business. 

And, he's in constant need of the boy clamp - a second set of hands to restrain his hips during diaper changes. He's at that age where he refuses to lay on his back for changes, so one leg is constantly being thrown over. It's like changing a seal.

He's a growing ball of joy. And seems to be the most vocal so far. Hmmm...

We are thankful.
