May is finally here. Braden turns 6 months old this upcoming Friday. He is turning into a roly-poly with gotta-pinch-'em cheeks. I can't believe a tooth hasn't pushed through yet. He is working hard and really taking teething like a little man.
The girls have each taken a turn dressing Braden lately, with a lot of mommy supervision, and it is hilarious. I should hope they appreciate my baby dressing skills after trying to get clothes on their wiggly brother. It is good entertainment for sisters and brother because they giggle their way through it and he just can't get enough of watching them. So sweet.
Braden went to his first Apple Blossom parade on Saturday. He did great but was unimpressed overall. His teething toys were more interesting and he even took a cat nap. I had placed ear plugs in his ears so the noise didn't bother him. He did look especially cute in his Mariners baseball cap. Another successful family outing.
His first over the phone pacemaker check is coming up in mid-May. It is so easy to forget he has a pacemaker. It hit me again right out of the blue the other day and I found myself struggling with trust and acceptance of God's plan over mine. The whole pacer issue still doesn't make sense but I know Christ is so in control of this crazy life thing. Braden is just so little to have a pacemaker for heaven's sake! BUT, we continue to pray that his heart will begin to function again without the unit and will continue to do so until Jesus tells us otherwise! Please pray with us about this. Our girls pray with sincere hearts every night for their brother to not need his pacemaker anymore. It is a beautiful thing, the faith of a child, the faith God wants me to have and I fight against with my "reasons". If anything this experience has done for our family, it is definitely a much bigger understanding of the goodness of God and that we can trust Him. Even just this week He came through once again in providing the exact amount of money we needed for a repair on our heat pump. Amazing!

Glad to hear he's doing so well and is ready to "see the world." You should consider a family trip to Entiat..... I'm just sayin'.
Don't you dare give up on the brink of a miracle!
