This is the amazing journey of our two miracles. John Craig was born on November 30, 2005 at 24 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 12 inches long. John is a true miracle and an inspiration to all that meet him! Hope Amanda, our perfect little girl, is currently recovering from two brain surgeries to remove a 6cm mass from the center of her brain. Hope represents everything good in this world and she too is an inspiration to all.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11

John's new tricks!

I keep forgetting to write down all of the new/funny/cute things that John is doing now. So, here goes:
  • He learned how to blow raspberries about a month ago and now he does it ALL the time....too cute!
  • He does a little wiggly thing when he's on all fours.....he'll just wiggly his entire body! I need to get it on video tape.
  • He says Dadadadadada all the time and a few weeks ago he was saying it and then all of a sudden he yells, Dad!
  • He also likes to say Mmmmmmm! So I say, how's Mommy's cooking and John says, mmmmm:)
  • Just this past week he has been shaking his head (NO)....really fast. Of course he doesn't know what it means. However, I just figured out today where he learned it from.....Good ole Baby Einsteins. They will say shake and one of the little boys shakes his head back and forth. See, TV's not all that bad......especially when it's the only baby interaction he gets.
  • He knows where your nose is.....if you say, where's Mommy's nose, he'll grab your nose! Grandma taught him that.
  • He'll give you a kiss........I mean a lick:) If you put your cheek to his mouth and ask for a kiss he'll stick his tongue out.

We are extremely proud of how far he's come. He amazes us daily!

Expect some VERY cute pictures on Friday!!!!! John's getting his first hair cut!

John is doing awesome!!! Don't worry - the lick will turn into a kiss soon!

Definitely post pics of the haircut. My husband is all over me to get Sarah's hair cut. I'm afraid she'll look like too much of a 'big' girl afterwards :(
