~9 months~

Little Reed turned 9 months old this past Tuesday. He had his 9 month check up on Wednesday. He is 25 1/2 inches long. He weighed 14 pounds and 8 ounces. He's lost a little weight from being sick and not eating. Of course, he keeps his legs going 90 miles an hour 24 hours a day, so he burns whatever calories he does take in. :)  His newest favorite toy is his Santa from Polar Express. He absolutely LOVES it! I can't believe that in 3 short months we can finally show him to the world!!! We are planning a huge party on March 19th, and want everyone to be there to meet our baby boy!








On another note, we are praising God for another miracle in our family. My uncle has turned a huge corner since last Monday. We thought we were heading to a sad ending in the hospital, but once they extubated him on Monday, he slowly began coming around. He woke up for good on Tuesday and immediately asked for his chemo meds so he could get back to fighting his cancer. He has continued to improve each day, and will be going home Tuesday if progress continues. He will have around the clock nurse care for a few days to give his wife a much needed rest. God has blessed his family with a little longer to spend with him, which is a wonderful miracle.

As we celebrate Christmas this year, our family has so much to be thankful for. We know the real reason for this season, and God has given us tangible ways to celebrate His existence this year. This will definitely be the merriest Christmas ever for us. Praying for a memorable holiday for all of you.

Much love,
