John Ross' 1st Flight

Saturday, March 17th, was an eventful day for the Malters. John Ross took his first flight! We took a short trip around the Des Moines area to prepare for longer future flights. John Ross is a born flyer. He enjoyed looking out the window and once we ascended, he took a nap. Of course, Kyle already has big plans for John Ross becoming his co-pilot. Maybe once he can reach the pedals, we'll think about it.

5-Month Update

John Ross is getting bigger every day. He is now eating baby food and although he is not a picky eater he prefers sweet potatoes and squash to everything else. Evening feedings definitely require a bath, which is his favorite event of the day. John Ross continues to get stronger and is trying to sit on his own. We think it's just a matter of time before he'll accomplish that skill. He is still tons of fun and has a charming personality. He keeps the pew behind us at church fully entertained!
