My friends had their little guy in December of last year and we had to get their baldness together!

HOW CUTE ARE THEY?!

I am ALMOST caught up to real time updates of our little guy! In the meantime – here are some shots from week 21!

Jared’s mom gave me this outfit – from Jared’s childhood! He wore it when he was 9 months old for a picture – I could barely squeeze Fitzy’s five month chubbers into it!

SO CUTE!

He LOVES his jumper! We don’t have any doorways that we can use it in – so it travels to the grandparents with us!

OH MY HEART! I JUST ADORE HIM!

Fitzy LOVES his great grandma Clark!

WHAT A SWEET SWEET BOY!

He is just the sweetest most wonderful baby I have ever met!

Aunt Samm came to visit in early October (at 22 weeks) and we took some pictures of the two of them together! She loves him so much!

He has such horrible allergies with the changes of the season – his poor little red eyes! He sneezes and sniffles but is such a trooper!

We are SO blessed with such a fantastic baby!

I am almost caught up to Fitzy’s actual age on my blog! YAY! Thursday he will be 25 weeks!! ALMOST HALF A YEAR! AHHHH!

Here are some photos of him at 20 weeks!

Hungry much?

Dearest Fitzgerald – I just love you!

Today you are 2. I’m still convinced that you have your daddy’s green eyes since your little brother has mine. Today you would have woken us up with kisses and hugs. I would have given you a sugary cereal for breakfast – cus it’s a special occasion! I would take pictures of you and celebrate the day you came into this world.

Instead – I am celebrating that you are in heaven. You are spending time with Jesus – you are praising and worshiping. You are loved. You have never known pain or anger. You have never cried. You have never wanted.

We miss you so much. I wonder what your little hand would have felt like in mine. I wonder what your favorite cartoon would be. I wonder what your evening prayers would have sounded like. I imagine you working in the garden with Grandpa Barden – going to football games with your dadda – feeding the cows with Grandma Trout. Marveling at all your new discoveries.

Sometimes I feel guilty because I don’t think about you all day – every day – anymore. I know that if we had held you in our arms that we would be missing out on Fitzy. I know that you are where you were meant to be. Losing you was one of the most defining moments of my life. Our lives. We have met SO many people because of you. We have been able to pray with SO many people – because of you. I’ve prayed harder because of you. I’ve learned SO much because of you.

Enoch – we LOVE you! we miss you. we celebrate your life today. You spent a tiny 10 weeks in my belly – but you’ve had such a lasting impression.

Today I hope you have too much sugar. Run and play until exhaustion and pass out in the arms of Jesus. Keep your candle blowing wishes for one of the families we’ve been praying for.

We went out for Jared’s birthday at the beginning of September and I just HAD to dress Fitzy in his little suspender outfit!

OH MY HEART!

LOOK AT THAT FACE!!

I just cannot get over his CUTENESS!

The one on the far right is my FAVORITE! I will be getting a BIG print of that one!

He is rolling over and trying to sit up all by himself. He loves his peas! Bananas and apples are favorites too! He is smiling all the time and is such a good baby!

We are SO IN LOVE with this ADORABLE little guy!

Grandpa Barden LOVES him too!

Grandma Barden is pretty fond of him too!

Thank you Janey Joy – find her on FACEBOOK – for the BEAUTIFUL hats!

Oh baby baby! Fitzy is getting SO big! Here are some of his 15 week photos!

LOOK AT THAT SWEET FACE!

I just absolutely ADORE this little guy!

First time eating cereal – and he LOVED it!

He LOVES his bath!

We are SO blessed to have this little happy baby in our lives!

I have known Belinda since middle school – we met at Athens Wesleyan Church! We both went to Mansfield University and now live one town away from each other! She and her hubbie had a sweet miracle boy in January – after years of heartache and trying! He is absolutely ADORABLE! They were in town recently and stopped by to see us!

I LOVE that face!

*C* is three months and one day older than Fitzy!

I like to think that *C* is saying – “oh the things you will learn in the next three months” – to Fitzy!

Belinda – I am SO thankful that we are able to experience this miraculous time together! And that I have someone to call and reassure me every now and then!

Someday I will be caught up enough that you can see CURRENT pictures of our little guy – but for now – here are his 13 week shots!

SUCH A SWEET BOY!!

I know – I know – he is ALREADY tired of all the photos!

The first REAL smile I caught “on film” – he is such a stinker about smiling for me when the camera is out!

He is such a wonderful baby and we are LOVING having him in our lives!

3 MONTHS – How is that POSSIBLE – although I am so far behind that he is FOUR months now!! When I weighed him on his 3 month birthday – he was 17 pounds – I don’t know how accurate that is – but I’m betting it’s pretty close!

MY FAVORITE!!

LOOK AT THOSE ROLLS!

The picture on the left is from his newborn session with Yafeh Photography! The picture on the right is at 3 months!!

Our little MONEY BEET!

He found his feet!

He is the most precious thing I have ever known!!
