Hello Family and Friends!!

Man it has been over a month since our last post and our little son has grown in incredible ways!!! We just got back from a great trip home to California and were blessed to spend time with family and friends that we have not seen in quite awhile. We were planning on being home for ten days but our while at home we really felt that we needed to extend our time there one more week. This was a great blessing to have even more time to see people and spend good amounts of time with people like my Nana, Ayden's great grandma, and Min's mom and dad. Ayden met a ton of new people while we were in CA!! He did so well!! Min and I both were not sure how he would do with others holding him and playing with him, but he was so personal with everyone and grinned much of our time there!! We are finding out more and more that we are very blessed to have a baby with a very good temperament, don't get me wrong he is fussy and gets mad here and there but really we have no complaints!! We got to see Ayden grow in so many ways the past month or so. He has fully began cooing and babbling, which is one of my favorite things yet!!! Oh, man there is nothing like your son talking to you in baby talk!!! We think that he s going to begin rolling over any day now, we were practicing tonight on our living room floor :) . He is now learning to play contently by himself after he has been fed. This gives us time to do things like take showers or eat a meal!!! Yeah for this!!! We also have watched him grow physically; at birth he was 6.9lbs, one month: 8.14 pounds, two months: 11.3 pounds, three months 14 pounds. He has already doubled his birth weight and is just continuing to put on that adorable baby fat!!! He is growing out of his clothes that he once did not even fit into, so sad but really exciting to watch the Lord grow this little boy off of breast milk alone!! Well, just wanted to do a quick update with pictures and a brief note to send our love your way!!! We pray that each of you is doing well and look forward to talking personally with you soon!!
