Yesterday, February 26, 2009 was a first time for a lot of things. Most importantly, it was the 5 month anniversary for the first time we ever laid eyes on Cheng-Yu. On September 26, 2008 we received a phone call about him and shortly after, we got an email that contained 3 photos of him. What an incredible feeling to see his face and hear his name. Five months later...HOME!
I love firsts!
Yesterday also brought the first visit with the doctor...shots!!! I hate firsts!
We did get a great report and thank God for that blessing.
First social engagement for Cheng-Yu. His friend Jackson turned 1 yesterday so we went to celebrate this special birthday! I love firsts!!!
At the party, Jackson gave Cheng-Yu his first whack to the head...He hates firsts!!! (Please note the evidence in the pictures)
Cheng-Yu slept in his crib for the first time...I hate firsts!!!
Thank you Lord for the joy and pain of firsts. It it hard to experience the depths of joy you have to offer without first experiencing the pain. Your grace is enough.

Other firsts for the day included a trip to the mall, ride in the stroller and a visit with Nana.
Parenthood certainly comes with A LOT of joy and A LOT of pain. The prayer of serenity takes on a new meaning for us. I love you all!! Congrats on all of your 1st and all the many more wonderful 1st to come!!
