New Year's Day with Jeff, Heather, and Asa...
"I'm gonna roll over soon, mommy, I promise"
"Do you like my new chomper?" (I am trying to get a better picture...)On New Years Day, when Oak woke up, Alan and I had a great beginning of the year with our son. We prayed with him and talked with him about the joy of a new year with new adventures and goals...and we explained how this year was going to hold so many new things for Oak...so many "first times." Among those "firsts" lately has been a constant desire to "talk"...basically make loud noises to join in our conversations or to play and keep us awake in the middle of the night. He also has added to the talking a bit of a shriek-like bird sound...quite hilarious. He is also getting really good at eating his toes, scooting on the floor and almost rolling over by himself. He loves to kiss and hug...and smile at anyone who will notice him...and gets frustrated if they don't smile back at him. He tried some rice cereal, as well, but is still pretty found of mommies bottles instead. But, probably the most momentous "first" in this first week of 2008 was that Oak has his first tooth! His drool had been ever-increasing in the last month...but last night when Alan was playing with him he felt the new little white tooth popping through his bottom gums. Amazingly, Oak seems quite unphased...he hasn't been any more fussy, etc. than normal. Once again, we thank God for giving us with such a laid-back little guy-we definitely don't deserve him, but we sure enjoy him!
