We're Expanding By Two Feet

It's been a wild couple months in the Abaray house.  Michael is very mobile now and likes to grab anything he can get his hands on.  He especially likes the feel of paper.  He's become such a great eater, and he recently started table foods.  So far, his favorites are lemon, orange, and crackers.  He's also tried various cheese, pizza crust, chicken, orzo, carrots, and pretty much whatever Mommy is eating.


Yummy, Hot Dogs!



Today, we had a wonderful time at Percy Warner Park.  We've been walking there since before Michael was born.  It's a lovely park with a great nature center.  We strolled through the nature center today so Michael could see various birds, animals, bones, and fossils.  Michael has been in there before, but he doesn't remember because he was just a few weeks old last time.  After a few hours in the park, we went to Maggie Moo's for ice cream.  It was a great family day.

Last Sunday, Michael was Baptized.  It was a wonderful occasion, and we were so glad so many family members could make it to Nashville.  Michael was such a ham.  He was babbling and giggling the entire time.  The deacon stopped a few times to comment on how much Michael was enjoying himself. 






Michael and His Little

 

I wasn't feeling too great towards the end of January and beginning of February.  We came to discover that the source of my illness was none other than.... a new baby!  We feel so very blessed.  I wonder if, just before Michael came to join us from heaven, he asked God, "Can you send my best friend soon?"  They will be close in age, and we're hoping they will be best friends.
