Abram has grown up so much since I last posted an update 46 days ago. He started crawling 8 weeks ago and now he is crawling EVERYWHERE with ease. We just moved into our first home, so he has plenty of new places to explore. He pulls himself up onto couches and tables to a standing position quickly. I’ll notice him standing all by himself for a couple of seconds, but he hasn’t noticed yet. Before too long, he will start standing on his own. It will be an incredible moment when he takes his first steps!
Abram likes to be around people, just like his Mom. He is testing out his vocal chords all the time, trying to get as loud as he can. I feel guilty when I catch myself getting irritated with his noisiness, but he doesn’t know any better. Besides, Daddy has a loud voice, why can’t he?
Last night I was feeding him a bottle before bedtime and he fell asleep in my arms, holding my hand with both of his. I have a faulty memory, but I try so hard to graft those moments onto the permanent parts of my mind. The sentimental side of me gets sad for a moment because I know it’s one I don’t want to end. But God has given me a wonderful opportunity to experience these moments. I’m so thankful to be the father of a boy I love more every day.
