Boys will be boys....

I doubt I need to point out the reason for this post. It's so perfectly round, how you ask? Truitt + excercise bands. He cleverly worked the band onto the coffee table so that it wouldn't move, then pulled the other end of the band back and let it go...which then met with Blake's face. Poor guy, he took it quite well - after a little crying he was crawling around again (which made trying to keep a cool pack on him hard - I just gave up). I am thankful it didn't hit his eye...needless to say the bands no longer reside under the coffee table. Now I'll deal with the stares and questions :)

Movin'

Read this...

I have tearfully finished reading this book and it brought conviction to my heart. Gospel for Asia is an organization that raises support for native missionaries to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who have never before heard His name. The book is written by the founder of GFA and he shares some amazing experiences. I encourage you to read it, it's well worth your time and a cause worthy of our support.

9 months

We went for Blake's 9 month well visit last week. He weighs 19 1/4 lbs and is 28.5 inches long....a healthy growing boy. He is a sweet boy. He loves to cuddle with his arms around my neck, stands on his own (for a few seconds), has 4 teeth, loves watching his big brothers play, crawls towards the "noise" in the house (which means he'll find his brothers which is where the action is), likes to talk, loves fridge magnets, likes to be outside and is beginning to realize he can move his own fingers :)
