Little Miracles

Two days before little Channing was born we were blessed with a car. We are so thankful that we found it when we did. We had spent hours and hours looking online and most of the cars did not pan out. After finding this Nissan Altima we prayed earnestly, checked carfax, and the dealership and bought it! Josh has spent hours cleaning, waxing, and changing the oil.
We are so blessed to have found it when we did.
Heavenly Father blesses us so incredibly much.

Both boys require lots of sleeping...

...even on the kitchen bench.

We just laugh when he gets a big smile on his face! It makes our day!!

Josh took this awesome picture of his little rolls!! AH! I love it!

His one week bath! His little umbilical cord came off and we were stoked! We were so excited to give him a 'for real' bath. We call this his 'pirate face'. The first couple weeks he often only had one eye open.

Channing holds his arms so cute when he sleeps. Sometimes they are straight up. He often lays right on his arms.

This facial expression cracks us up!! This is his wide awake face that often makes him cross eye'd.

Josh brought me flowers after work one day and it totally made me cry! It was so thoughtful and sweet. I don't know how I got so lucky to marry the most wonderful perfect man for me.

Channing was blessed on August 7th.

It was an absolutely beautiful blessing. He is such a choice spirit. We are so blessed to be entrusted with him.

Our little angel was in a little white tux. All we wanted was a bow tie involved with the outfit, that was our requirement--well that and it being white.

He has his Daddy's nose, brows, lips, and feet. He has his Mommy's eye shape and his crying face looks just like her baby pics.

Our little family!

Hayley's brother Jacob and his wife Sarah came out for the weekend to meet Channing. We were so moved that they would drive so far to only spend a few hours with us.

*Disclaimer: Gew! I look totally hammered in that picture!
Only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep for a couple nights in a row.

Hayley's Mom came out for a few weeks and blessed our lives so much. She stayed up with little Channing till 2 - 4 am many, many nights. Hayley would have undoubtedly lost it without her.

We have heard people say countless times that, "you do not know what love is until you have a child"--it is so true. No words can express how deeply you feel for your child. We are so in love with him and just love staring and interacting with him for hours.

Little Channing has been having a hard time with gas, colic-like symptoms, and as of yesterday, diagnosed acid reflex. He has been doing much better this week. We are so blessed and cannot express our appreciation to our friends and family who have fasted, prayed, and added their faith to helping him feel better.

God is so good to us.

As of yesterday Channing weighed 9 lbs 3 oz.
