welcome Emery July 7th

Emery 2 weeks old


Zek 10 months old

me and my little guys (Zek seems so big now)

So it's been over 4 months since my last post. Let's just say things have been crazy around here. Getting adjusted with Zek and being pregnant.

Emery (Emerson Thomas) was born July 7th and weighed 9 lbs 4 oz and was 22 inches long. He is so beautiful and so loved by his big sisters and big brother.

Zek is trying to adjust to his new roll as big brother. Big changes for the little guy. He is having some issues with crying a lot and clingyness towards daddy. Thankfully Zek is an awesome sleeper. Waking up with two babies would not be fun.

Zek is doing well otherwise and is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. He is pulling up to stuff and will walk behind a little walk behind toy. I think he will be walking really soon. He is also growing like crazy.

Zek loves to get into the girls toys and seems to do it to make them mad. He is filling his roll as little brother really well :)

We are all doing well, just trying to adjust to life as a family of 6 now. We jumped from 4 to 6 very quickly. I think we are adjusting better than I had imagined, though.

  1. I was starting to get worried!!! So glad to see an update! Emery is absolutely ADORABLE! Congratulations! I am sure the next couple of months will see many can-I-just-crawl-under-the-covers type moments, but eventually it will get easier. hahaa. At least, I'm pretty sure it will. :)

  6. I came across your blog from someone else's blog--so happy for you! Hey, you might want to come check out a new Christian adoption website www.wearegraftedin.com -- there is a room on the forum dedicated to Ethiopian adoptions. Come and join in and get the discussion rolling in there. Hope it becomes a place of mutual encouragement and helpfulness!
