Hi Friends! It has been quite some time since we've written--not because we don't have anything to share, but because we've been so busy. Miles is growing and changing every day. He gas gone from a little five-pound bundle to a fourteen pound chunk! He is always so alert and interactive when he's awake, and such a wonderful sleeper at night. His favorite things are being outdoors, riding forward-facing in the Baby Bjorn, batting at his toys, looking in the mirror, eating, and talking with us. He's not so fond of riding in the car, tummy time, and getting dressed. As you can see, the "favorite" list is much longer than the "un-favorite" list, and that describes Miles's personality well. He's such a happy, laid-back baby, and he brings us so much joy!
Many of you have asked how Grant has adjusted to being a big brother. He loves Miles so much, and is very kind and gentle with him. The main thing we have noticed is that he has all the sudden "lost" certain abilities--such as the ability to feed himself. Of course he hasn't actually forgotten how to eat, but when we sit down to dinner he pleads, "feed me, feed me!" Although this is quite humorous since he has been eating by himself for years, we do realize that he is needing some extra love and affection since his place as only child has been permanently lost. It's been good for him, though, and overall he is thrilled to have Miles as a part of our family.
I have to sign off for now, but I will try to update more frequently with pictures and news. Oh, one more thing. November 4th is the scheduled date for the termination of birthfather rights. We are extremely grateful that God has so far answered our prayers and yours, and everything has gone smoothly. Thank you all for praying.
Love,
Jill, Stephen, Grant, and Miles
