Beginning of 2008

Happy 2008 everyone!

Each day with Fazal brings us new learnings and new mini-adventures. In the first two photos he is showing how he is getting better at spending time on his tummy. He used to hate being put on his belly, probably because he could hardly move and would get very frustrated. But he is getting better at holding up his head, positioning his arms under himself, and moving his little legs and bum, in a sort of practice leading up to eventually being able to crawl. Every day he tolerates being in this position a little longer.


This sweater was worn by Christina's cousins Evan, Emmett and Luke, and now it has been passed on to us. You can see the family name "Wilder" sewn on the front.


Finally, Fazal is talking (squeaking, laughing, shrieking) up a storm. We hope to see many friends and relatives in the coming year - and are saying special prayers for our loved ones in Kenya during these very difficult days. You are always in our thoughts...
