Baby Jayde went home to Jesus early this morning. Kanyon is doing well. Please, continue your faithful prayers.

PLEASE PRAY!!!

Many of you will not know these people or ever meet them. But all of you can affect their life dramatically through your diligent prayers.

Some friends of mine from ACU, Jaymie (Spencer) and Kory Phillips were expecting twins. At just 25 weeks the babies were born on Monday. Doctors tried to stop the process, but ended up delivering the babies. They are in NICU in Longview, TX and are battling the first crucial days of their lives. The babies are Jayde and Kanyon. Jayde weighed 1lb 12oz and Kanyon weighed 1 lb 9 oz. Please lift this sweet family up in your prayers as often as you are amazed by the blessings in your life. You can read updates on the family at http://thephillipsphamily.blogspot.com. Thank you so much!!

Well, it's official. As of Tuesday March 20, Hampton can stand all by himself. He can't get to the standing position on his own yet. But if we stand him up he can balance until he wants down. He can even squat to pick something up and then stand again. I must admit that I am proud...he's the only baby in our little group who can stand alone. But as proud as I am, I'm a little sad because my baby boy is growing up too fast. I know his first steps are rapidly approaching. I'm not sure I'm ready :).

He is my treasure!

New Things

Today, I felt one of Hampton's top teeth coming in. It has already broken through and I didn't even know it. Now he has 3 on the bottom and 1 on the top. He's such a big boy.
Tonight when I was feeding Hampton I asked him if he was "all done" and signed it to him. He answered by shaking his head no and when I asked if he wanted more, he grunted. After I gave him some more Cheerios I asked him again if he was finished. This time, he signed "all done". I was so excited and cheered for him. He smiled really big and kept signing "all done, all done". PRECIOUS BOY! I realize that this was probably a total fluke, but I would like to think he is super smart! A fluke or not, I am one proud mommy!!!

Story Time

Hampton has started to love his books...expecially the ones with parts he can touch and move. Reading to him is about the only way to get him to sit still. Ben really likes reading to him. He is amazed that Hampton will sit still while he reads him book after book. I love these pictures...my precious boys!

Hampton was not himself last week. He ran a fever most of the week and wanted to cuddle all the time. His Motrin made him feel much better :)! He was cutting another tooth...on the bottom. He is working on his 3rd tooth on the bottom and doesn't have any on top. He is feeling much better this week and is back on his regular sleeping schedule. Today was the first time he woke up during his nap and put himself back to sleep after fussing for about 15 minutes. He is becoming a big boy.
