Anderson Family 2012: Year of Baby Steps

                  Another year has come and gone and we turn our thoughts to Christ and Family. This year we have taken many Baby Steps in our lives. Enjoy reading all about it!
Adalyn: Of course, Adalyn is making the most baby steps. She has made some immense progress this year- but all in baby steps. She turned 1 in March, started sitting pretty well this summer, & had her first surgery- a Cochlear Implant! It has been so fun to see her start babbling again, turning to sounds, and even recognizing some words and turning to our voices. Her recent baby steps in listening and speaking are that she is almost saying MAMA- not that she knows what it means, but still, a Mom’s gotta a right to get excited! She also gained some great weight and is really starting to get social and find motivation to move and look and touch. We love our girl and are proud of all her Baby Steps this year!
Nicole: At the beginning of the year Nicole decided to start taking baby steps towards training for a half marathon. It took lots of baby miles and hours- but eventually, in April she ran it and had a great time doing it! She also made baby steps teaching a spin class at the school’s gym and is now making some great baby steps towards making our next baby. :D Due Mid-May.
Talon: He made his baby steps through his first year of his masters and got great grades. Made baby steps towards refinishing furniture, playing golf and doing surgeries on rats. He has been working on his research and making baby steps in understanding diabetes and exercise. He’s gotten really good at baby steps in doing the small surgical procedures on the rats and in October made a not so baby step in getting into Med School. He’ll matriculate July 2013! We’re so proud of him for his hard work… many more baby steps and MUCH more work ahead!
We are reminded again of the constant miracles the Lord has given us in our own lives and in the lives all around us. Those baby steps we take towards Him and His presence are real. As we try to take the baby steps to repent and become more like Him, our Savior, Jesus Christ, may we remember all he has done for us and His infinite love for us. Let us try to remember Him, not only this Christmas, but always. Have a wonderful season!
Love, The Andersons (Talon, Nicole, Adalyn & Jr.)

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
