Trystan's Baptism

Trystan was baptized on Mother's Day! What a special way to spend my first Mother's Day! It was a very emotional, blessed day, full of reminders of how Trystan is truly a gift from God. A little boy who literally was so close to death, is here living a perfectly healthy life as a child of God! To know that God could have called Trystan home to Him, but instead is giving us this great opportunity to bring Trystan up in a loving Christian home is beyond comprehension. Many tears have been shed over our sweet boy, tears in fear for the unknown in the very first days and weeks of his arrival, and now happy, thankful tears for a healthy, happy boy! God is so Great, isn't he!

Some much requested video of me!



More Bumbo pics!

We've had a long, cold week which included snow, so I stayed inside where it was warm and played on my Bumbo. Can you see how much fun I have? Don't you just love my big navy blue eyes and my cute nose? Did you see the picture where I even got a kiss on my feet from Max, one of my Weimaraners? I can't wait until I get big and can play with him. Dad says Max likes to wrestle, which I have heard is fun for little boys AND big boys.

Have you heard I have a very exciting week coming up? I am going to be baptized on Mother's Day! Mom and Dad have been telling me all about Jesus. Did you know that He loves me so much and that He helped me to get better, as I was a very little, very sick boy when I was born? I can't wait to meet Him one day! I also will be having a lot of visitors this week. My Grama and Grampa Christenson are coming, my Uncle Dusty and Stef are coming, and my Grama Marie is coming! Grama Marie has not seen me since the day I flew to Denver and has never held me, so we are really looking forward to that! Uncle Dusty came to see me and hold me when I was in Denver, but that was a long time ago. He won't believe how big I am. And Stef has never met me, but I have heard she is so excited to come and love on me too!

Well, I gotta go. The sun is shining and Mom says we are going outside to see what my dad is up to. I am sure he is busy working on the dog kennels. I can't wait until I am big enough to help him!

Thanks for checking in on me!

5 months

Trystan is 5 months old now, and continues to get cuter every day! He is changing right before our eyes and is a constant reminder of God's love and grace. God is so good!
As you can see below, Trystan's new favorite thing is sitting in his Bumbo! Saying that he loves it is an understatement! He has great head control, and is one strong boy!

A reminder of God's love and greatness

Time for an update

Trystan had his 4 month check up last week, even though he will be 5 months in 5 days WOW. He is up to 10 lbs 10 oz and 23 1/2 inches long. He is very healthy due to our hibernation, so it has been worth it. There are still a few cases of RSV floating around here, so we are still being very careful to stay away from young ones. We have been out a bit. Trystan has experienced some road trips delivering puppies and meeting Grama Deb & Grampa Joel in Bismarck for Easter. He is a great traveler, so we are grateful!

Here are some cute shots of him from this past weekend. LOVE those baby blues!
