18 months old!
Abe is 18 months old today. He continues to work hard in therapy and we continue to marvel at him. The progress continues, though very slowly. He is still working to sit up, but has recently done much better baring weight on his arm. He gets so proud of himself. Look at him sitting on the bench and supporting himself with his right arm! He knows he is doing some tough stuff here. :)Sleep, well, we still struggle, but some nights he will surprise us. The Lord continues to meet each and every one of our needs and for that we are thankful. 
He got some stylin' new shoes. Actually, he got orthodics and the shoes are worn over them, but they make him look so old and grown up! The last 2 little clips in the video are from a trip at the end of the summer to the Porter's lake. It was a blast. Abe had a permanent grin on his face. We took the whole crew out on the hot dog. (look closely and you can see him sitting at very front) Those in the boat looked terrified, but it was just one of those moments- one we ALL got to experience together. Abe does so much observing, so it was a blessing to have him participate on this activity. :)

Emily, that video just gets me on so many levels: the amazing spirit of Abe with that perpetual smile, the providence of God in placing him with exactly the right family, Abe's big brother swimming with him. Overwhelming.
This video is beyond precious! What a sweet boy and what a blessing he is to those around him. He has the greatest smile! Looks like he is working so hard and making huge strides!

Congratulations on Abe!!! Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and hoping you're doing okay- I know the waiting is killing you. I haven't forgotten, and more importantly, God hasn't either. Praying that all goes smoothly over the next few weeks.
oh, that made me cry and not much makes me cry :) he's amazing!! kj
