It's been a rough year and a half for our family. Shortly after moving to Kokomo and buying a house, we found out that we were expecting a baby. Coincidentally, we were also awaiting the arrival of another baby in the family, due about 3 weeks before our little one. However, due to developmental complications, we lost our nephew in September 2006. And to add to an already emotional situation, we also lost our niece in July 2007. With two miscarriages in less that one year, you can imagine the emotional stress that is put on a family. But during the whole situation, it was very evident that God is very much in control. It was a blessing in disguise that we moved back to Kokomo and became pregnant when we did. Although it can be very bitter-sweet to welcome a new baby into your family shortly after losing one, God brought us this baby to bring a sense of joy back into the family.
On February 8th, our family grew. We've begun the challenge and joy of being parents!!
Fast forward 7 months later..."how can it be September already??"
Ethan - 7 months, 3 weeks
What's new with Ethan:
* Now that he's crawling, he's into everything!!
* He has some strange fascination with the door on the VCR.
* He loves splashing around in the bath.
* He's started giving hugs and kisses (If you consider an open mouth bite on the nose to be a kiss.)
He weighs about 21 lbs. - pretty big for his age. Luckily though, his weight gain has really tapered off over the past few months. And best of all, when I'm gone from him all day for work, he gets excited to see me and wants to go where ever I do.
Well, I've rambled on long enough. I should head to bed...I'll play around more with this later!
