Today we hit the 6-week mark in the life of fields. It is difficult to describe all of the ways that he has grown and changed since coming into this world last month. Despite the sleeplessness, inability to accomplish all that we used to, irratibility, etc., he continues to be the apple of our eyes. Even last night, we tried to comprehend the reality that he is actually here, but to no avail. We are still in awe of Jesus' goodness.
So, at this point in his life, fields...
- is starting to smile at us when we smile at him (especially in the morning)
- loves his swing
- enjoys his morning walk with Deborah, Rachel, and Meg (Rachel and Meg are friends/neighbors)
- allows his dad to fold him over for some 'gas relief' - video evidence to follow soon!
- can pick up his head and turn it from side to side while lying on his stomach
- has begun allowing mom to have a break by taking a bottle of breastmilk occasionally
- is simply incredible!
