Move over Dick Clark...

Par's ready for 2008!

Par spent most of the day eating and sleeping. This evening he has been content sitting in his boppy on the sofa watching football with his dad and trying to put his fists in his mouth. He has not yet been successful, but boy--this kid does not give up easily! He's been making a lot of cooing sounds/noises--it is nice to hear things other than crying, grunts, hiccups & poots.





Tiffany has been giving Par a little more attention today--several times she came to sniff his feet while Par was eating. She doesn't seem jealous--sort of curious now--don't worry, we aren't leaving Par alone with her--we know dogs can snap.

Par requested that his mom and dad hang out at home with him tonight for his first New Year's celebration. We are more than happy to--we might be lucky to have Par sleeping through the night a good bit, but we aren't and so we are both pretty tired. Is this what it is like to be parents? Wow...we feel so old.



We were all set to just "hang out" when we got a call saying that Par had been asked to be the New Year's Baby at my parent's house. After all the stuff with the Gainesville Living Nativity, we knew this was just what our little boy needed. He made a perfect New Year's Baby--but was absolutely pooped when we got home.



We thank God for 2007. It has been a pretty incredible year--this time last year I couldn't have even imagined what we've just been through--and now, on the other side of it, I am trusting God for what He has in store for us in 2008.

We pray for Par's friends and we thank them for their friendships with their parents.

Happy New Year!
Love,
Liz, Rusty & Par
