Settling In

Elijah,
You're a growing little man - getting bigger right before our eyes, sleeping a little bit longer at night (5 hours straight through last night!), and the love of our lives. We are so amazed - daily - at how God's providential hand has been upon us from the beginning.

We're getting settled into a routine, learning your noises and cries, understanding what you like and need, and fully embracing parenthood. I have to admit I was worried - I wasn't sure if I would bond immediately, if I would instantly feel like a mom - your mom - but it has just come naturally. I know God had been carving out this special place in my heart just for you, Elijah, and you fit so perfectly. Oh how I love you, little boy!









Still praising the Lord - and finally sleeping (sometimes) in the bassinet!


Look at those 'chubby' cheeks! He's getting so big!
