5 weeks old
Christian is five weeks old, and growing so fast it seems. He is noticeably filling out his clothes and diapers. He is more alert and awake for longer periods of time. His sleep pattern at night is not a set schedule yet, but I think/hope we are getting there. Usually he sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time at night, I think one time there was a 5 hour stretch. Overall he is such a good baby, only cries when he is hungry or has one of those pesky gas bubbles. Grandma H. came to visit yesterday and brought us lunch...we were all glad for the visit!
Jackson-Yoder Wedding
Justin Yoder and Stephanie Jackson got married Sept 5 in Oklahoma. I'm so happy for them. Justin has been a good friend of mine since middle school, and Steph became a good friendof mine while we were at Hesston College in the same mod. Lucky for me, I have two good friends that married each other that are going to live in Hesston.
Christian and I went down the Thursday before the wedding with 3 other bridesmaids. Friday, we did misc things and then in the evening was rehearsal which Ben came down for as well. Saturday we had a bridal brunch at Steph's sister-in-law's mother's house...which was very good! Then we went to the church to get ready. Meanwhile, Ben golfed with the boys in the morning...he's not really that into golfing, but I guess it was a social event :) The wedding was pretty, and everything went well! Christian did very well..traveling, being shuffled around from place to place, eating/sleeping, and hanging out with the girls alot!

one month old!
Its hard to believe Christian is already a month old! Sometimes in the middle of the night it feels like it was longer ago than that, but most of the time it feels like the time has flown. He is a really good baby. I'm hoping that he gets a little better at sleeping longer during the night, but we'll give him a bit more time to get that down. It's been more fun to watch him as he is awake more often during the day. He will focus on our faces now, and give smiles, although I don't think they are the "real" ones yet. I went up to work a day before he was 4 weeks and weighed him...9 lbs 3 oz! I guess he's getting enough food :)

Ben's Baptism
This last Sunday was an eventful day for us, especially Ben. He was baptized!!!! The baptism was at a lake just north of Wichita at 4 pm. Both our families were able to witness this special event. We both became members at the service as well. I've been attending First MB since the fall of 2006, and Ben joined me when he first moved to Wichita in 2007. We really enjoy the church and felt that becoming members was the next step.

BAPTIZED!

Afterwards, we had the family over for supper (thanks to Mom and Dad Sweigart who made everything!!). Minus the multitude of flies outside, it was a very enjoyable evening spent together. What a great day!
Christian is already 3 weeks old today..and growing!
