We have been blessed to have a weekend filled with family and friends. My Grandma (Zeke’s Geegee) and my Aunt Nancy (Zeke’s Great Nancy) came from Amarillo, Texas and Sugar Land, Texas (respectively) to visit and meet Zeke.
Our joyous visit started when they came to Acworth to our house and spent the afternoon with Zeke and me. Then, Gregg was able to see them at dinner that evening. Since Gregg already had a hunting trip planned, I decided to spend the rest of the weekend at my parents’ house in Alpharetta. It was a wonderful time spent with Grandma, Nancy, Mom, Jared, Jami, and their girls. We also had visits from Teresa (Auntie Tessa), Ellen Widener, Molly Michaud, Katie Cloninger, and Lindsey Torres.
Zeke turned two months old on March 19th (Friday during their visit). It’s hard to believe he has been with us for two months, but it’s also hard to imagine life without him. He is a part of us and is more precious than I even imagined.
He weighs about 11 pounds now, is sleeping 8 or 9 hours/night, and rolled over from his belly to his back at 6 weeks of age. He’s scooting around his crib and growing stronger every day. He smiles all the time and we think we heard his first laugh this weekend. I know the time will go by quickly, so I am trying to cherish each minute I have with our precious little boy. I think Stephen Curtis Chapman said it best when he said, “I can see the fingerprints of God, when I look at you.” As I look at Zeke’s perfect little body, I am amazed that God knit him together in my womb and humbled to be his mom. Gregg and I look forward to each stage and transition as we watch Zeke grow.
