Christmas 2012

Christmas is truly the "most wonderful time of the year"! I enjoy the special services at church, the wonderful music, and the family time! We spent Christmas Day with the Stoltzfus side this year and two days after Christmas with the Fenton side. We also revealed our new baby's gender on Christmas! So fun. Here are some pictures of our Christmas season:

Unfortunately I have NO pictures from the Fenton Christmas celebration!!!!  I need to get Amy and Abby to send me some. They have beautiful cameras. I wonder if we even took a cousins picture...oops. Oh well! We had a wonderful time!!! That's all that counts :)

Here is my 22-week baby bump picture. I'm so excited to be having a girl!!!!

He's walking!

Yesterday Clark decided to officially begin walking!!  We couldn't be happier!!  His Early Intervention evaluation was scheduled for December 20th, so we are excited to cancel that appointment. I can't believe it took him this long, but I am grateful to God for teaching me to trust him through this. Over the past couple days, he had started walking along the wall, taking four or five steps in a row here and there, but yesterday morning there was a definite turning point. He began walking across entire rooms! He began standing up from a sitting position and walking after not holding onto anything. A big difference! We are so happy!

He is also getting two molars on the bottom this week. We are weaning him off his paci during the daytime and leaving it in his crib for naps and bedtime. So far it's going well. However, I do feel bad withholding his paci during teething since he's grumpy and just wants to chew on something! He'll use his fingers or his baby forks and spoons. Also I do have a couple teethers from when he was a baby--and supposed to be using them! Haha his teeth are super late in coming in.

I'll end with this video of him walking!
