4 Months!!

I can't believe it, but Cavin turned four months on December 20th! He is a growing boy! He loves to sit and stand up. Most of the time he will fuss or scream if you try to lay him down while holding him! He does love to lay and play on his playmat! He has also rolled over several times. He also still loves to talk! His other biggest adventure has been starting to eat cereal with a spoon! After just a few bites he had it down and loves to eat his cereal in the mornings and evenings before bedtime!

Here are his stats and some cute pictures--the professional ones are from his 3 month pics.

Weight: 13 Pounds (25th Percentile)
Length: 25 inches (50th Percentile)

Merry Christmas from the Richards!

Cavin's First of Four!

On the Ground Before Takeoff!

Last Monday we flew to Oklahoma City to celebrate Christmas with Matt's family. This was Cavin's first time flying, and he did great! He slept most of the way there and ate most of the way home! We enjoyed our time with family and some time to just relax.

I can tell Cavin definitely spent three days straight with Daddy. As Matt was getting ready for work Thursday morning Cavin watched him everywhere he went until he walked out the front door. Then he immediately got fussy. He did the same thing today. I am glad he loves his Daddy so!

Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest, but we forgot the diaper bag at home which is where the camera was!

We're up in the air!

If you keep up with our blog, you may remember me talking about Matt Chandler after our Dallas trip a while back. If not, here's a brief recap of who he is.

Matt Chandler was my Matt's college minister while my Matt was attending Abilene Christian University for a year and a half. Then both Matt's moved to Dallas! Every Monday night Prestonwood Baptist church (the Baptidome!) hosted an event geared for college age students. Matt Chandler was the speaker, and its where I met my Matt, the first week I was in Dallas. We went most every week that year, drawn to the raw honesty and boldness of Chandler's words. He is a gifted speaker to say the least. He is the senior minister of The Village Church in Dallas, TX.

On Thanksgiving Day, Matt Chandler suffered a seisure that landed him in the hospital, which led to the discovery of a brain tumor, which could be cancerous. A few days before surgery to remove the brain tumor, here is what Chandler has to say about it. This video is short, but very powerful. Please watch it and please join the thousands of believers all over the world who are lifting him up in prayer.
