Baby Christian

Baby Christian

He is a miracle and a blessing. We are so greatful to have him here with us. Thank you for stopping in. Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

Sometimes...

Sometimes babies are just so stinkin' cute! Well, they are cute all of the time, but sometimes just more.

I had the honor of babysitting Christian the other day and just had to take these pictures. He was playing on the floor and then just crawled up onto my lap, put his head down on my shoulder and went to sleep. Reluctantly, I placed him down on the couch so I could snap a few pics. I have attached them to this posting.

Please keep a friend of this blog in your thoughts and prayers. Leighton Harper was born almost 2 weeks ago with Hypoplastic Left Heart. He has had his first surgery and is doing OK. He weighed only 3 pounds 10 ounces. Mom, dad and baby are hanging in there.

Thanks for popping in and checking on us!

He has four top teeth and two bottom teeth! it feels like I just brought him home and he's almost a year old! Crazy how time goes by!
