Half a Year! Oh My!



My Sweet Dosers~

Six months? Where has it gone? I think you get sweeter each and every day! Mommy cannot believe that you are already 6-months old! I am madly in love with you! My heart melts every time I look into those big blue eyes and see that gummy smile of yours! You are smiley and giggly and loving and sweet. You love to be around people smiling at everyone. You only really cry when you are hungry, have a dirty diaper, or are really tired and about to fall asleep. Sometimes you whine when you can't see mommy or want to be held. Other than that, you are a darn near perfect baby.

You scoot yourself around in a circle and to other various places. Rolling is what gets you where you want to go for the most part. Jackson still loves you more than words can describe. You are truly blessed to have him as a big brother and I am pretty sure you know it. He is very helpful in taking care of you and always wants to see you right when you wake up in the morning. You laugh at him a lot and love listening to him talk to you and say funny things.

You are a big boy now eating solid foods. So far you have tried bananas, pears, butternut squash, and peas. You could probably live without the peas but you tolerate them. Mommy is making your food homemade and loving every minute of it! I think all this yummy food has thrown you into a growth spurt. You are in at least 6-9 month clothes, if not bigger and almost size three shoes. You are still wearing size 3 diapers.

You and daddy are pals. You get quite excited when you see him wiggling all around and smiling from ear to ear. You love playing with him grabbing his hair and face. We absolutely adore you and love your sweet spirit. You light up our days bringing us so much joy. Until next month sweet boy...

Notoriety

Teenage Mother A donkey owner Simon of Cyrene Who are these people? I am sure you can figure out the first one: Mary the mother of Jesus. Who are the others and what do all three of these people have in common? They all did extraordinary things but, for the most part, went unseen. Do you ever feel unseen? Undervalued? I do. I try not to get caught up in that space, but I find myself there too often. While Mary is infamous today, she wasn't when she brought the King into this world. She was a teenager who gave birth in a barn. She was an outcast who was pregnant but not married. She told of an unbelievable story involving an angel, a Spirit, and a Savior who was going to save the world. Could you even imagine? It's easy for us to be in awe of Mary. We know the whole story. She didn't. And neither did the people around her. She had to live it. To top it all off, she had to watch her beloved son die a gruesome death. Talk about feeling unseen and undervalued. She faithfu...

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold...

The Promise Land

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 We Christians like this verse; like A LOT. We have it written all over the place. We hang this verse up in our home and tattoo it to our bodies. Jeremiah 29:11 is everyone's life verse. I mean, who doesn't want to rest in knowing the God has a plan for our life; especially when that plan includes safety and prosperity. Even if I didn't believe in God, I would hold onto this verse. What if, however, we have been misinterpreting this verse all these years? This life, the here and the now, we like it. Well, some of us probably want to throw this life in the trash like a rough draft and have a do-over. But, for the most part, we hold onto this life for dear life. It is all we know. It can be scary to think of anything else. Because of this, we go all in even when the cards we are dealt are bad. Thi...
