Lindsay is now nearing 9 months of age. How the time flies. Lately it she has been displaying an ever-evolving little personality. It's just so amazing to watch. It seems like she waits for opportune times to make silly facial expressions and she has even begun to express her displeasure when she feels someone is ruining her fun (how dare Daddy NOT let her chew on his shoe). What I love most is her very inquisitive nature. Today I let her borrow my watch and she studied it intently for over 10 minutes. She would pass it from one hand to the other, allowing the links to flip-flop and collapse back and forth. Each time she would pause for a second and watch closely as she made the transition. She seemed bound and determined to figure out how that worked. After then studying a few of the links in particular, she finally got bored (or figured it out) and decided to see if it would work for teething. She's so small and yet she seems to be learning so much. My friend Joe summed it up well one day when he said "They're really just little people." Sure she can't walk or talk yet, but she's got her own little personality, curious little hands, and tons of little mannerisms to let us know how her day is going. Watching her path to toddlerhood (is that a word?) is just simply amazing. I love being a Dad!
I must apologize for the chaos on my site the past couple of days. What started as a few technical glitches with my previous blog template, ended up being a total site makeover. In light of our new little miracle, I found the "Creation" theme very fitting. I'm still working on a few more add-ons to my blog, so hopefully I'll avoid disaster this time around.
God works in mysterious ways…
This past week, Jill and I received news that our second little miracle was on the way. Although very unexpected, the news was absolutely wonderful. It was about two years ago that the doctor had told us that there was less than a 1% chance of us conceiving without medical intervention. It was basically described as hitting a bull’s-eye with a dart while blind-folded. Many of my friends had relayed stories of people they knew who conceived naturally after adoption or IVF, but I always insisted that our situation was a bit different, based on what the doctor had told us. Apparently, pessimism doesn’t suit me well. Now that the shock has worn off, we are simply ecstatic! After the long road we traveled to have Lindsay, this new little miracle is so very welcome. We have truly been blessed!
