Hooray for summer!

How are we already approaching the end of July??? Forgive me for not writing recently; does anyone know where I could buy some TIME??? :) Well, Nathaniel is now 20 weeks old! He had a doctor's appointment this past week and weighed in at 18 pounds 1 ounce and 26 inches long! He's almost outgrown his car seat already! He's changed so much these past two months. He smiles and laughs, tries to talk - especially when everyone else in the room with him is trying to hold a real conversation! - and has recently begun to turn over - he can easily turn from his tummy to his back, but it's the other way around that is a little more challenging to him! It's amazing how much babies grow and change within their first few months. He can almost sit unassisted, but he's so chunky - that's a lot of weight for him to hold steady! He's such a happy baby - he wakes up with a smile and brightens my day.

On June 26th, we presented Nathaniel to the Lord at Chestnut Assembly of God. As we sat waiting for the service to begin, I couldn't help but think about our wedding day there at the same spot where we would soon bring our baby boy before God. It was also awesome to have Paul and Jackie as Nathaniel's Godparents. Paul was Sam's best man and Jackie was one of my bridesmaids! It's funny how life comes full circle... The service was beautiful and afterwards we invited family and friends back to the house for a little party. I have more pics to post from the party - coming soon!
