Cruisin' Nathan

Nathan has reached the "cruising stage" - it wasn't enough for him to be crawling . . . he's now standing up, pulling himself up on things, trying to walk and basically getting into everything. He's also managed to climb up the stairs a couple of times! His new favorite thing is to stand up in his crib. . . which can be a bit distracting during nap time. He loves bath time too.

He had his 8 month checkup yesterday with Dr. Fernando - his doctors continue to be amazed at his progress - he is above average on the growth chart - weighing in at 19 lbs. 8 oz. And he's now 72 cm tall. The doctors can no longer hear the heart murmur that he had - so they are pretty sure that the small hole he had in his heart has now closed up and they are no longer concerned about his left lung. We continue to be very grateful for all the blessings that God has given us and for the miracle that God worked in Nathan's life and for so many of you who prayed and are praying for Nathan.

Here are a few photos of Nathan's recent activities -
