... of conversation

"That's right, folks! It's only a matter of time until they won't be able to shut me up..."

Not much time to blog lately, but I thought I would share some (low quality) pics. We basically went from taking insane amounts of pictures when Abram was born to taking almost none with a real camera. So my phone is the only place that we are getting any documentation of his fast and furious development. The fun thing is that it DOES take video, so I get a little more eventful stuff to share.

He has been talking a lot lately. I haven't figured out if he is just babbling for babblings sake or if he does it when he needs to spit up. Usually these conversations follow a feeding and are followed by some kind of liquid. Sorry. But here is Abram conversing.



If my mac were working, I would love to be able to add captions for what I imagine him to be saying. Oh well, maybe it's better for you to use your own imagination.

We've also been working on playing with toys and tummy time. He's still not a huge fan of the latter, but he's getting better and better each time at not freaking out.

This is tummy time in his new gym we bought at a resale shop for 1/3 of the price it is at babies r us. I am beginning to learn to never buy anything new...

Well, I will try to be better about taking pictures of the kid on a good camera. Or maybe be better about telling Quinn to be better about taking pictures of the kid on a good camera. Same thing.

"Thaaaaat's all, folks."

... of the tipping point

 I haven't blogged in so very long, I can't remember when and I'm not going to stop this thought train to go and check. Suffice it to say, it's been awhile. But I showed up here to share (and document) a major event in the life of our family.  Before Moses came home, I would see adoptive families posting about their kiddos' "Tipping Point Days". I recently heard it called something else as well, but I'm too tired to think of it right now. Basically, it is the day when your adopted child has been with you for as long as they were not  with you. For kids that were adopted at 1 or 2 or 3, that seems to come quickly and maybe feels eventful, but not monumental. Well, when we got custody of Moses he was about 4 years and 9 months old. I remember coming back to America and seeing someone in my adoption group post about their 2 or 3 year old's Tipping Point Day and thinking I should figure out when Moses's would be. So I did. I sat down and figured ou...

...of a name

If you've been tracking with us for awhile now, you may remember that when we were pregnant with Selah, we had a boy name chosen .  This time, we had a few boy options, but the old standby won out, because we really do like it a lot.  But just like two years ago, we still can't quite agree on a middle name for this kid. That's where you can help. His name is Simon.  After Simon Peter, the apostle.  It's five letters and it's Hebrew (like the other kids) and we like  it. But, here's the thing: We have four options for middle names.  The two that Quinn really like, I have been vehemently opposed to.  I will share them with you in the most unbiased (yeah, right) way possible and you can tell me if I'm wrong.  For real.  I won't be mad. He likes Simon Quinn and Simon Peter. Now, you may be thinking "Wait a minute... isn't Quinn Abram's middle name?" Why yes, yes it is. Much to the credit of his beloved parents, Quinn likes his na...

...of three

So we are having another baby.  Whew.  There, I said it.  No creative lead up and stunning reveal.  Just there .  Baby.  Bam. That's a little what it felt like to find out that a third child would be joining our ranks a bit short of 3.5 years after our first child was born.  We were content with our two.  A boy and a girl.  Who could ask for anything more, right?  Also, Quinn and I each have just one sister, so it seemed natural for us to stop at two. So that's what we were working to do.  I won't go into the details of it all with you in this forum, but we really were attempting to avoid pregnancy. So this wasn't a "woops" moment.  This was a "many things happening coincidentally" moment.  And so when we confirmed that we were, indeed, expecting another baby, there was a bit of shock (of course), but also peace and assurance in knowing that God definitely showed us His hand in it. We told Abram pretty early on and he...
