The Canaanite

And there we saw the giants . . . and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." (Numbers 13:33).


I'm thinking this is what the other little kids at church think once they see the Little Man and realize that he is their same age and one day they are going to be stuck in a room for two hours with him for nursery time...


Our little giant is over 21 pounds and somewhere in the neighborhood of 29 inches long, even though he is only 7 months old.  Many times I take him to church and to the grocery store and see people with kids his size, but they are doing things like walking, talking, eating, etc.  Most of them have teeth and a full head of hair.  Usually all of that is because those kids are between 12 and 18 months old...


Despite his giant-like proportions, he is my gentle little giant.  I don't think he'll be treating the other little kids like grasshoppers in nursery.  If anything, we'll have to make sure he doesn't squish them while trying to give out little huggies and kissies.  We'll make sure to load him up with his 9 ounces of milk and two bottles of baby food, as well as a healthy stock of his size 4 diapers to make his nursery life more comfortable.
