It is getting very hard to think of my baby boy without thinking of his brothers at the age he would be. He would be 17 weeks old tomorrow, and I just love that age, where they are all smiles and learning to get around and sit up. It has been a long time since I had a little one- E is almost 4 now and it is just so different. It is hard to try not to live in the past when I am supposed to be raising a little baby. I looked up a picture of each one at around this age.
At this age, M was about 25" and 16.5 lbs. He could stand up when he was leaning on something and could sit and scoot on his belly. He had started to say "ma ma" when he was sad or hungry. Here he is standing in his chair:
Here is E at the same age. He was 20 lbs. by this age and 26" tall. He could roll all around and sit up. He was SO strong and big, it was hard to just hold onto him sometimes. He was smiley and fun and so silly.

What adorable boys you have! Hang in there Kinz!
You're not living in the past, you're just grieving for your baby. You're totally normal and we love you! Thanks for sharing your feelings with us ((((HUG))))
Yes, What Kristine said.
Yes, I agree with everyone else. I think of your little Nolan all the time and for some reason when I see you I never know how to bring it up. Just remember he is not forgotten and there are a lot of people that love him and your sweet family.
4 months is one of my FAVORITE ages--ever! Your boys at that age were chunkers just like mine were! Love it!
The boys look so cute! I can't imagine how you must feel sometimes so I am glad you say on here. Thanks for sharing! We love you!
You are so brave and I hope you know how many people think about Nolan all the time, we love you!
I know I can't imagine what you are going through but know that Nolan is not forgotten by any and we are all here for you whenever you need us. On days when its too much to bear I hope you are able to turn to our loving Father in Heaven for comfort Kinz. If you ever need anything...well ya know! ;)
Oh! So cute! They look so much the same as babies as they do now. I really like it when you talk about Nolan. It makes me feel like I know him. We are praying for you!
I agree with the others. I don't think it's living in the past when things are not the way we thought they'd be. Right now you thought your life would be in a completely different phase. Me too, I'd have a newborn right now. I have a lot of other blessings I'm still grateful for, but I still want what I was counting on having. It's completely normal and I don't think it's wrong to dream about what might have been, especially when you're grateful for "what is". Your boys are adorable, why would you not want that again?
Love ya!
Love ya Kins!
