Another Milestone

This morning Cedric got his first haircut! He did a great job sitting still until the very end at which point he got sick of me messing with his head and thus started to cry, but overall he did great. So now, the mop on top of his head is gone and hopefully his hair will grow in more evenly now.

Here are some before and after shots:

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Last night as Ben was drinking toe-jam infested water through a straw in the bathtub:

"Mmmmmm... this is goodicious!"

A Bit of Miscellaneous

Here are a few random shots from this past week:

I'm not sure what kind of bird this is, but it was perched on a tree just outside our house. I thought it was really beautiful so couldn't resist snapping a photo.

Sleepy Cedric quickly settled into a nap in his highchair. I guess a full belly really can do great things!

"Oooooh... Momma, what's for dinner?"

Passing Milestones

Our littlest boy keeps growing at an alarming rate right before our eyes! He now pulls himself up on things to a standing position and is rarely content staying on ground level for very long. He is a brave boy and sometimes lets go of what he's holding on to just to see if he can stand alone... it doesn't last for long but he continues to try. He has also succeeded in melting my heart recently by saying his first word: "Momma"! One very early morning (3:00am) I was grumpily walking down the hall to help the little boy who had awaken in his sleep when suddenly I heard the sweetest little sound a mother could imagine "Momma... momma... momamama..." My grumpiness immediately melted away and the world was just as is should be in that moment. It's truly phenomenal how much joy a child can bring.

Happy New Year!

Praise God for his provisions this past year.

May blessings flow even more abundantly in the year to come!
