he's four months old today.

it's quite incredible how much change has happened in the four months from birth to now. i think he's more than doubled his birth weight (6.6... thinking he's about 14 now but we'll find out at the dr.'s this afternoon); he's awake, alert, interactive... smiling, laughing, rolling over. he's developed different kinds of cries for different things - when he's tired, hungry, or when he doesn't like something. and he's just so much fun.

but i think the most incredible change might have come for me and p over the last four months. our lives are changed completely, our perspectives altered forever, and we've developed a love for our son that already runs so deep. we've also had to work on making sure we're always communicating with openness and honesty. because with so much change happening in such a short amount of time, things can be stressful at times. it's brought us together, made us stronger, and reminded us how important our family unit is and should be.

this journey has been such a blessing. and we know it's only just beginning.
