A Noble Nine Months

Webster's dictionary defines noble as "possessing outstanding qualities" and "very good or excellent." I would say yes to both when reflecting on the last nine months with this precious baby. Her visit to the doctor this morning went wonderfully. She hardly cried with her two shots and the growth stats are as follows:

Head Circumference: 44.5cm - 65%

Height: 28 inches - 75%

Weight: 22 pounds, 12.5 ounces - 90%

We took a trip to the barn this afternoon to celebrate by looking at the six new ducks we have on the property. Ducklings grow seriously fast! Just a few days ago, they were half that size!! Naomi loves them and demonstrates the perfect balance of loving to touch and look at them but being gentle and quietly observant.

Naomi, you have brought inexpressable joy into our lives. We are in awe of your beautiful, sweet personality that develops each day. We gave you life so that you could live it and it fills our hearts with gratitude to watch you take in the world around you and grow. Our cup runneth over...

[May] the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:4-7
