Six Month Update: Great shots of McKye

I am trying to figure out if he is working on something here or if it is just a funny smile.

Super Baby is our favorite activity.  I don't think he will have a fear of heights considering I sometimes put him up against the ceiling, I just need to watch that he does not drool or spit up on me.

McKye is all about drooling.

Angie sure knows how to dress up our GQ boy.

McKye just started eating baby food and it is incredible how fast he is learning.  But he sure does not like mushed carrots and peas...I wouldn't blame him.

LMCC: A Good Laugh

Back in March 13th, Lookout Mountain Community Church had it's 'Tacos & Tunes.'  This is a talent show - showcasing the good to the goofy.  As you can see above, myself and Brian Newman (Executive Pastor) was doing a little mini-me dance.  We were actually dancing to Slumdog Millionaire.  We called ourselves the Slumdog Mini-me Pastors.  Lookout has truly walked through an interesting season this past year, starting off with a church split which has led to much needed healing, recouping, stabilizing, and finding time to laugh.  It was a great time for us as a community to get together and enjoy the richness of community.

Six Month Update: The Oxygen Rollercoaster

As many of you know, McKye went into the ER when he was two months old due to some choking (reflux related).  While in the ER they figured out that he appeared to be wrestling with 'periodic breathing.'  So we headed to children's hospital for observation and an exhaustive sleep study as seen by the picture above.  This was quite the heart stretching journey for us as we often were in places of unknown and to watch your little child hooked up to monitors and wrestling with oxygen - not fun.  Due to the 'periodic breathing,' he needed to be on oxygen when he sleeps till he was seven months old.  Well, let us just say having a baby on oxygen is not a lot of fun.  But praise God after two months of being on oxygen we did an at-home pulse-ox study and he was doing a lot better so that he no longer needed the oxygen.  He now seems to be doing very well and progressing like a normal baby boy.
