This video is near and dear to my heart. Paul Cardall put this together to bring awareness to those who have or continue to struggle with congenital heart disease. Paul is currently waiting for a heart transplant and has been dealing with this disease all of his life. He is an incredible musician and his music is so beautiful and inspiring. One of his songs is actually the background music for this video. Our little Truman is featured at about the seven and a half minute mark. It is amazing to me to see how many little children have had to endure such a serious surgery at such a young age. Not that I thought we were the only ones, but it is comforting to see how many are doing so well at various ages. Please watch, but be warned, you may need a tissue or two at hand. 

Note: The video posted a bit wide for my blog, so if you can't see all the words, just right click on the video and select "show all". that should work better for you. If that doesn't work, click  HERE and watch it on You Tube

9 months!

Our little buddy is getting so big. He's weighing in at 21 pounds thirteen ounces and his length is 29.5 inches. This kid is definitely going to be tall. We're working on using a sippy cup right now, but Truman is not really interested in it. He prefers to be fed with the bottle if he is thirsty. If we give him a sip through a regular cup he does a pretty good job though. He is loving Cheerios right now too. I think he would just eat them all day if I let him. He's not crawling yet, but we're working on getting him in the position. Most of the time when I get him on his hands and knees he just cries, and then I feel bad. I think he is just on his own little schedule and doesn't want to be pressured. I know the feeling. I'm kind of like that too.
Truman is just a very good boy. Good sleeper, good eater, good giggler. What more could you ask for?

Truman's favorite toys these days are the remote control and a..
















cardboard box. I had heard before I had a kid that they like to play with things like these, but I never thought it was true until Truman. So I guess Christmas will be pretty cheap this year.
