February:
Oh this month was LOTS of doctor visits but overall we ended with good reports. We had a few fevers and that also meant we got to stay home from daycare with grandma's---he knows he can get away with anything with his NeNe and Grandma Barbara. We also visited with a specialist to check on our liver enzyme levels but we haven't heard any news from that appointment so we are saying all is well in that realm of the world. We also had our four month shots---YUCK! Ran a little fever for about a day but we also went shopping and got our new car seat--a cool convertible one. No only did #theduke venture out to shop this month but he also went to a jewelry party where he was loved on by one of his favorite people, MaryAnn Baird--yes, that boy loves her to pieces and gives her the best kisses too. Oh and we had a great valentines day--NeNe kept #theduke while mommy & daddy ventured to Charleston for the day. We had a great time but were ready to see our little man when we returned. Oh we went to church as a family too for the first time!! YAY!!
March:
Wow, time is flying by and he is growing up too fast. We have mastered the rolling from belly to back but cannot seem to get the other way yet. He loves tummy time for about 5 minutes and then will roll on over. This month was a fun but busy one too with lots of parties and meeting new people. We attended a baby shower for our cousin Robin---cannot wait to meet this precious boy!! #theduke also attended his first birthday party for his cousin Abigail--so much fun meeting the Chickfila Cow and yes, he tried a little blue frosting too. Not only did he meet a cow but he also met the Easter Bunny---no smile was given during the pictures but he is still as cute as could be. This month was very special for us as this month we had #thedukes dedication at PGBC. We cannot wait to see what our son will do for our Lord in the years to come.
and now to the present month....
April:
So far this month we have had one doctor appointment, been out of daycare 5 days due to yucky diapers and spring break for NeNe. He is still fighting his bronchitis but we are thinking it will be cleared up fully soon. We celebrated his first Easter with dying eggs and making an Easter Bunny cake with my parents and my mother in love. We have also started baby food and we are sleeping thru the night--hallelujah!! Bananas are his favorite so far but we are still working on those peas.
Our lives have been so fun and crazy over the past five and a half months but we would not trade this amazing journey for anything in this world. Currently we are in court limbo and are waiting on a new date for the hearing that was continued from January. We are excited for the next couple of months though as we are praying all will be finalized soon--my wish is by July so pray with me that this will happen :)
Fun things #theduke LOVES:
- squeal and scream
- laugh
- roll over from belly to back--one day we will get the other way too
- climb up whoever is holding me
- bath time
- snuggle time
Currently his is a good 17 lbs and 25 inches long--he is solid as a rock!!
Thank you for continuing to go on this journey with us....
