Today is the day of Roman’s cleft lip repair surgery. Aubrey Trinnaman came over yesterday and took some pictures of him before his little face gets changed forever. I love Aubrey and for the record I think she is a genius.
We love this little guy so much. See you on the flip side.
And here is one of Moses with his new haircut.

My 'baby's' 1st cleft lip/palate repair was almost 15 years ago. What the doctors can do is amazing and it is humbling to witness the strength and resiliency of a tiny person.I will be thinking of you and your beautiful boy today.

Sweety 🙂
My father's cleft lip surgery was in 1945 when Vienna was bombed basically every day. And it when really well. So it should work out for you and your little one, too!
Good luck!

oh the gorgeous little poppet. Doesn't it just break your heart to put them through pain, but you know that ultimately it's for the best. Not that it's any comparison but I had my daughter's tongue tie corrected when she was 5 days old, and even as a doctor myself it's still hard to have a stranger take your child off you and 'operate' on them. But I know that in the future it means less chance of speech impairment and some other benefits. So I understand a tiny little bit what you are going through. My prayers and best wishes are with you at this time.

Wishing you and Roman the best today! The photos are gorgeous (as is the baby!) and I really commend you for having them taken and posting them. We all need to get more comfortable with the varieties of human diversity—whether they be physical, neurological, or whatever. It's wonderful that Roman's cleft will be repaired, and it's wonderful that you've loved him and welcomed him as he is.

He is such a beautiful boy. Dressed in a soft knitted outfit, snuggled with a soft snake. Oh, I love love love! I have to go snuggle with my own little one now…

Roman is such a beautiful boy!These pictures are fantastic! It just so happens that this week we were matched with a sweet little boy with a cleft lip and palate whom we are adopting from China. So I understand a little of what you're going through and I'll keep you in our thoughts as he undergoes his first surgery.
