April 4th marked IA’s one month of life outside of the womb.   
He weighed in on the Mendez scale a little over 10 lbs and the
following week at the hospital weighed 11 lbs!  He’s growing like
a beanstalk — like a thick beanstalk! 
On this special day, we celebrated by having Uncle Daniel, our family
photographer, and his assistant, Auntie Kerri, come for a special one
month photo shoot.  Here are some of the pictures he took! 
Imanuel’s cousin, Juan, who is 9 months old, also has a special guest
appearance in one of the pics…

Posing with Israel’s mini Bible.  He wasn’t too thrilled about taking this picture.

Special thanks to Juan for letting us borrow his bunny…and special
thanks to Uncle Justin for letting IA borrow his shirt. 

Now Imax (as his daddy likes to call him) isn’t the most photogenic in
this pic…but we thought it was hilarious!  Poor baby could
barely hold up his body.

This is one of our favorites.

Quick updates on what has been going on…
– The baby has had Thrush (yeast infection in mouth – white tongue and
it spreads to inside of cheeks and lips) and has been on Nystatin for
over a week now.  That is the worst medicine.  Baby hates it
and it STILL isn’t gone.  Got it from the antibiotics …one of
the negatives of antibiotics during delivery/recovery.  Please
pray for it to finally go away!
– Poor baby experienced the 8th day, a couple days ago.  He’s in a
little discomfort.  We also found out he’s 12 lbs 5 oz!  He’s
quickly growing into 3 month old clothes!
AND last but not least –
– This Sabbath Imanuel Alexander will have his dedication at Campus
HOPE church at the University of Michigan during the divine worship
service.  We’re looking forward to that.

Okay, that’s all.  God bless!!
