Our (not so little) guy is now 8 months old! He's a little under the weather today (either a cold or teething--not sure which one yet-maybe both!) but otherwise doing well. At 8 months Kellan:
-Rolls over like crazy to get himself somewhere.
-Can stand up on all fours when attempting to crawl--he just needs to learn to move his arms with his legs and he'll be on his way!
-finally got his first 2 teeth (within a few days of each other!)-I have a feeling more are on the way!
-likes to click his tongue and stick out his tongue while blowing (like a "raspberry" but with his tongue out--not so fun when eating!)
-is figuring out how to clap-he loves to watch us clap, and he now "claps" his hands too!
I will post pictures of my little man later, but I want to post on something else weighing on my heart. I came across a blog recently off a link from the Bring the Rain site that I often read. I just started reading Adrienne's blog yesterday and if ever I've asked, "Why, God?" it's after reading her story. I don't know anyone personally going through the pains of trying to adopt a child when you cannot carry one of your own, and to read what she has just experienced really is hard to imagine. I have prayed for her a lot over the past 24 hours, and I will continue to keep their family in my prayers, knowing that God has a different path for them that they may not yet understand. I ask that you say a prayer for Adrienne, Jim, and little Owen today. It really reminds me how much I take for granted--just being blessed to have 2 of my own children who are healthy. With Thanksgiving approaching, you can bet I will be counting my blessings this year.

Hi Jenn! I've been reading Adrienne's blog too. I'm so sad for them and really can't imagine going through this--on top of having so many miscarriages! It's really just tragic.
I too am so grateful for all that I have and need to take a step back and not take so many things for granted!
