Our newborn baby pictures of Michael

Obviously he is not a newborn here- we have to imagine what he would have looked like. Sometimes I hold him and describe how he must have looked to his Ethiopian mama. How sweet his little face was. How beautiful his long eyelashes are..how tiny he was...as she counted his toes and kissed his cheeks.


Michael was wearing size 18 month clothes but was really 4-5 years old. He was so tiny- but grew and grew that 1st year he was home.
Michael loved being on his new daddy's shoulders. This made him feel comfortable. Whenever he felt sad this was helpful in cheeering him up. They spent hours walking around like this in Ethiopia.
