Perry’s two new favorite things are crawling and jumping everywhere! He’s been jumping all his life, at 4 weeks old the only way we could get him to stop crying was to help him jump and now he does it on his own. He just began crawling this week. Perry and I went to Lexington and spent the night with my mom, grandmother and her husband. As soon as PB got out of the bathtub he was crawling…naked across the bed. Now we can’t stop him. We love watching him crawl he is a busy body!
I’m not really sure who keeps looking at out blog, but we’ve had a steady stream of people checking it each month probably waiting for it to change ha-ha. Well good news…I’m taking over and I’m going to try really really hard to post regularly. I have only posted something once and that is mainly because I couldn’t remember my username and password. So maybe this blog can be my new hobby! (We’ll see)
So, seven months ago Ryan posted that Perry Benjamin was born. He is now around 21 lbs. and close to 28 inches. He’s growing so fast, and we’re absolutely loving every minute of it. He just learned to feed himself and his current loves are Gerber puffs, bananas, bread and any baby food placed in front of him. He is trying his hardest to crawl and mainly he just scoots around on his belly. Our Dr. says PB will be walking by Christmas…aghhhhh! My favorite thing right now is PB’s ability to give love. I love the way is face lights up when he sees mommy and daddy.
I promise to update the blog with pictures…as soon as I find the cord that connects the camera and the computer. Be patient with me!
After much anticipation, Perry has arrived. He was 9.1 lbs and 21 inches long, yeah, big boy. Emily went to the hospital on Sunday night to be induced because she was five days past her due date. After waiting for progression throughout the night by 2pm on Monday, some progress was made, but not enough, so the Doctor decided to preform a c-section. I have heard it said; that when you hold your child for the first time is amazing and the same held true for Emily and I. A friend pointed out to me, after the fact, how unconditional love for this new child pours over you. Perry has plenty of unconditional love from all his family. What a fantastic picture of the Gospel and the same unconditional love God had for his children. We pray that one day God will reveal his Son, to my son, and Perry will join the Kingdom of God.
Romans 5:8, “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
