Happy 1/2 Birthday Bryan!

Our sweet little boy is 6 months old today! Where has the time gone? I guess when you care for a newborn 24/7 the days and months fly by. 6 MONTHS!!! WOW! He goes to the doctor Wednesday for his 6 month check up and immunizations. I'm not looking forward to that. Poor guy! At least he won't have any more for 6 more months. I'll let you know how much he's grown since his last appointment. Stay tuned! :)

The Ultimate Love

John 15:13-Greater love has no one than this, that he lay his life down for his friends.

I've had this scripture on my mind today. Now, that is the ultimate LOVE! I love Matt, but I can never love him like Christ loves me. He loves all of us...our yucky ole sinner selves...so much that He DIED to save us! We definitely need to remember that daily, but what a great reminder on this day of LOVE that Hallmark created!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Sitting Pretty-or should I say Handsome?!

Bryan is sitting up pretty good with a little support from us and/or a pillow! :) He'll be 6 months old Saturday.

Good Morning!

I was putting some laundry away in our room this morning and laid Bryan on the bed. He looked so happy and bright in the sunlight! Of course I had to run and get the camera! :)

New Things

Here is Bryan eating his rice cereal (and making a HUGE mess) and him sitting in his new seat!

Pitiful

Our sweet boy who NEVER cries, and i mean NEVER, had his second round of shots today and cried for about 5 minutes and whimpered all the way home. :( He is sacked out now, thank goodness. I just feel so bad for him. 4 needle pokes is not fun...especially when you're already kinda cranky b/c you're tired! Anyway, everything else was great. He's now 17 1/2 pounds and 26 inches. (90th percentile in both) He can start on some solid foods now. Fun!

More Christmas Fun

First Christmas

 

Merry Christmas?

I'm beginning to think it's not so merry. My grandfather passed away last night after battling heart disease, failing kidneys, and leukemia. Then I find out just moments ago that a very close friend's father passed away this afternoon from the cancer he'd been fighting for a while now. How odd to be thinking of mortality when everyone else is thinking about birth. That's what Christmas is supposed to be about, beginnings. A celebration of the birth of a Savior. Yet somehow it's fitting to consider death in the midst of all the merriment. Jesus was born to die for us, that we may be free. I know beyond a shadow of doubt that my grandfather, C.W. Davidson, and my close friend Ed Wosotowsky are both with Jesus right now, both free from their pain, as the whole world celebrates his birthday.

Remember as you celebrate this joyous season that the baby in a manger grew up to hang on a cross, paying the ultimate price for our sin that we may be free.

Bryan's First Christmas Tree

Bryan loves the lights on the Christmas tree. He also loves the musical snowman that we have that plays Frosty the Snowman! :) His Sug (Matt's mom) is going to be taking professional pictures tonight or tomorrow of him in his Santa suit and a new reindeer outfit he has! We'll post them as soon as we get them. 

Santa Baby

Aunt Beth bought Bryan this adorable Santa suit! (Thanks Aunt Beth!!) Of course I had to get some of him with just his diaper also! :)

Thanksgiving Week

Very Happy Boy!

Bryan will be 12 weeks old tomorrow! I propped him up in the recliner to talk to him last night and he talked and smiled so much. He loves sitting up...but he HATES tummy time!!!
