a quick update on our Little Man...
It's been almost 6 months since his heart surgery... and our Little Man is doing great! He is active, growing, in constant motion and he is ALWAYS making us laugh. In fact, he is quite a handful to keep up with sometimes since his favorite game is chase, which he usually gets me to play by crawling/walking into a part of the house that he knows is off-limits. Then, as soon as I start to follow him, he laughs hysterically then crawls as fast as he possibly can in the opposite direction!
His heart surgery was a complete success! He was supposed to have a few different follow-ups in the months following his surgery, but after his first one, the cardiologist said he was doing so well that they cancelled the rest of the appointments and said, "We don't need to see you until next year." Woohoo!!
It's been amazing to see the transformation... when I thought he looked so good and so healthy in the few weeks before his surgery, it's been quite eye-opening to go back and look at the difference in before and after pictures.

He had definitely chunked up before... but his height! As soon as they fixed his heart, he started to spread out and shoot up! His Daddy is tall so we always expected a little something more but oh my goodness! At this point, he still has my short legs, but his 12 month shirts no longer fit his long arms or his broad shoulders. And people at church who haven't seen him in awhile always comment, "This can't be the same little guy!" We feel very blessed, and this Thanksgiving, we have marveled at where he was last year and where he is now. We are truly Thankful for the health and heart of our Little Man.
