16 Months Old

We can hardly believe our little man is 16 months old. Looking back on his birth and each accomplished milestone, it's amazing to see how much he's truly grown. We literally can't stop praising God for this miracle in our lives. We ask that you'd continue to pray for him as he continues to grow, as we do for you and your children. 
For those of you that have children, you know what a remarkable gift it is. They bring so much joy, spontaneity, laughter, and even lessons to our lives. As they grow, we grow. There is no mistaken the design, depth, and detail God brought to each of our little ones lives. Each of them have been "fearfully and wonderfully made." I know that full well and do not doubt the presence of God in our son's life. He is alive and real and we can see it simply by looking into our son's eyes.  
Our sixteen month old "mowing," just like his Daddy. Look at him... head held high in the air... so proud of himself! =) What a precious gift!

Updates on Brode:
1. Last official weigh in: 24 pounds
2. Last official height: 33 inches
3. He checked out beautifully and has great developmental skills!
4. His vocabulary is widening and his comprehension sometimes shocking =)
5. He likes to climb onto things but has learned to obey by sitting on his "buns." =)
6. He has officially joined the nursery, as of last Sunday. He does great... the workers say that he dances by the door when worship begins and he loves to kiss the babies. What a softy... 
7. When praying before a meal, he'll solemnly remind us that he'd like to pray too... so we say "Brode's turn" and he folds his hands, "talks," and then we say "AMEN!" =) He loves it!
