DD: Elisabeth Grace, 5
DS/DS: Grant Luke / Cade O'Brien, 2
DS: Jude Henry
Bird: Blaze
It has been a little more than four months since we moved into our new house, and the timing couldn't have been better with the recent arrival of Baby Silva #4. Our son, Jude Henry, came into the world on October 2nd, weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces; 19 1/2 inches long, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
Jude is the first of our children that we had somewhat of a difficult time naming. Luke wanted to name him Henry after his grandfather, but it's not a name that I am at all fond of. We discussed it extensively, went back and forth, and finally decided that the best thing to do would be to give him his own first name and use Henry as a middle name. Jude has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and Luke agreed that it was one on my list that he also liked, so went with it, and I think it fits him wonderfully.
Ellie Grace is five years old and in kindergarten. She enjoys school, although we did have a recent problem when she came home one day and said she never wanted to go back. Once we sat down with her and talked about it, we came to find out that our little girl is quite the perfectionist, so when one of her classmates teased her about not being able to read a particular word in a book, she broke down. Ellie is quite advanced for her age and can read very well, but as with every five-year-old, she can't make out every word in every book. So, we had to talk with her about the fact that there will be times when she won't know something and will have to ask for help, and that's okay. And as for her classmate, sometimes people do and say things that they shouldn't, and we have to forgive them and keep going. Needless to say, she understood well, went back to school the next day, and came home as the sunshiney little girl that we all know and love.
The twins, Grant and Cade, are now two years old, and although they aren't the babies anymore, they enjoy their roles as big brothers. Cade is still a lot more outgoing, independent, and risk-taking than Grant, although they're both very friendly and curious little boys.
