From humble beginnings

For everyone who knows us, know that we had a rocky start with our little guy. He decided he wanted to come out and meet us early at 32 weeks. Since September 11 (eish, I know, it's not like I planned it, people!) we've had a definite change in our lives. The biggest being meeting our son Gideon, and learning who he is, what he's about and what he likes. He's such an amazing creature! He astounds me daily. I think God must have known we'd just have the one and so He gave us Gideon early, so we'd have an entire 2 months with him that most people don't get. I also think Noah's got an inside track to the Big Guy and maybe told him he couldn't wait much longer to play with his boy? Not sure. Either way, he came early and we're still adjusting to life as parents of the world's most precious boy. Life is good. Gideon is healthy and happy and growing much too quickly for mom's taste. Just last week he celebrated his 5th month birthday. Since then, he's decided that grabbing toys is cool and eating spit up clothes is the thing to do. He has also mastered the art of holding your arm when you carry him. This one melted mom's heart! I mean, it's like he woke up one day and decided to be a baby! What happened to the little blue eyed lump that hung out watching the ceiling fan and doing not much else? It's truly amazing and humbling to watch him grow and learn in his own time and at his own pace. It makes you really realize that we are so not in control. Maybe one of these days I'll write a little about his birth, but not today. Today I'm focusing on the biggness of my boy. Here's a shot of Mr. Wonderful in action!
