Family of five




We are all settling into life as a family of five. Miles seems to be making himself at home and since our last post....he has taken to the car seat a little better! As you can see in the picture, his first experience in the car seat wasn't pretty!
Both Ethan and Grace are proud to show off their baby brother to anyone who will listen. Ethan is very sweet with him and is always trying to make him laugh. Gracie is kind too, she always wants to feed him or help him....although, she will not hesitate to let him know who is boss.....and I'm not talking about Mommy and Daddy!!
Everyday we see a little more of Miles' personality. He is very sweet, likes to cuddle and will give hugs and kisses. He is also a very serious little guy. He seems to be taking everything in and is always trying to figure out how things work. He has a cute little voice and his giggle warms our heart. He has only let a couple of people hold him besides TJ and myself, and this reminds me of our answered prayer. He warmed up to us so quickly during the process in Thailand....he even let us both hold him (and carry him around) the first day. I see now that is not his general nature and that God really prepared his heart for us and answered our prayers in that he would bond quickly with us.

Hi Baur Family! It's great to see the pics of all of you! I just wanted to tell you that many of our friends here in Oregon have been praying for Miles and for you and they have been asking for news. It will be great to tell them you are home safe and sound and that Miles is doing so much better! Blessings!
