Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas & New Year. We have had a lot of fun during the busy, past few weeks. We spent a lot of time in Indiana seeing family and friends over Christmas - and then spent a week in Naples, Florida on vacation with Stan's family. It was a little cold, but we did find one nice day for Sean's first beach experience. As soon as I get some photos downloaded, we'll share with you our Christmas & vacation photos.

Sean is healthy and an absolute joy...smiling and flirting wherever he goes :) At his nine month appointment he stretched out over 30" (97th percentile?? He's almost 1/2 the height of his mom now) and weighed in under 22 pounds (70th percentile). In the last week his top 2 teeth cut through and it looks like he is working on some more bottom ones too. He now eats cut-up fruit & vegetables, yogurt, and anything else on mom's plate she thinks he might like :) He is not crawling yet - and has only shown desire once in this area (trying to get the TV remote.) Stan really wants him to start moving, but as his primary caregiver - I'm really enjoying this stage! He is also starting to hold on a little more too. I told Stan all I wanted for Christmas was for Sean to hold on to me -- make those 22 lbs a little easier to hold :)

We feel extremely blessed and are anxious to see what God has in store for us in 2008.
