« Introducing Elijah Bruce Hutchison | Home
5-Months Old and Under Weight
Written by Bill Hutchison on October 6, 2011 in News
September marked back to school time for Caleb and Jessica. Caleb, who turned 9 on Saturday, started in grade 4 and Jessica has started in kindergarten. Both of the children were very excited to be back at school with their friends after the two-month summer break.
Elijah is an absolute joy to have in the family. He is smiling, babbling away and lately has learned to stick out his tongue at his siblings and mum and dad. A few weeks ago he started to roll from his tummy to back, which brought squeals of excitement from Caleb and Jessica, and a look of shock to Elijah.
Although Elijah seems to be reaching all his milestones, there are a few areas of concern with him. At the moment Elijah is not on the charts for his weight. Even though he is over 5-months old, Elijah is very under weight and only a little heavier than a newborn. There are also some anomalies in his recent blood tests that we are monitoring with his Paediatrician.
We are finding that life with three children is definitely more hectic than with two. Both of us are feeling a little run down and could probably do with a little “refreshing”.
Bill is continuing in his international communications role in Youth With A Mission. The YWAM Podcast has currently been downloaded in 124 different countries around the world and the audience is continuing to grow. Bill also continues to help publish the International YWAMer every two months, with an audience of over 4000 people.
In case you haven’t seen it yet, Caleb has started his own blog called The Adventures of The Aussie Rocket.
