Thank Goodness for That

I love to take pictures of my Mia. We take them for special occasions and we take them for no reason on an ordinary day.  I like to look at the hundreds of them - often! But here are a few to capture the moments:

Mia's first time in the sand (in Florida, at Opa and Oma's)




"Mommy, is there a problem with me being in the box?"



In recent happenings, I have gone part-time at work - working 2 days a week and spending the rest of my days with my little monster:) Could not be more blessed!!  She is so stinkin amazing and I LOVE to watch her learn and discover new things. She is learning to stand on her own and move along the furniture. She gets more and more brave with each hour and will probably be walking soon. Mia has finally decided some things are ok to eat besides baby food. She ate her first pieces of banana this weekend (we tried many times before only for her to spit them out while making a funny face). With me being home with her, she seems to be thriving on our new schedule.  She really enjoys reading books - she crawls in our lap to read or is content to read them herself! Either way, it makes her happy!  Mia will also give great big kisses when you ask - and especially when I ask her to kiss the animals:)

My heart overflows with joy, and I have said it before...I cannot fully describe how much love seems to explode out! She is our little miracle and not a day goes by that I do not thank my God for her - and for how He made her!! And along with that joy and excitement comes a hint of fear.....ok, made it is more like terrified. Will she love the Lord? Will I do a good job of teaching her the countless things there is to learn in life? From counting her toes, to making wise decisions, to controlling her anger - and the list goes on forever it seems. So much is resting on my shoulders in how I impact her life and who she becomes. And yet at the same time I have no control over who she becomes. Chris and I can only pray and seek His wisdom - and rest on HIS shoulders. Thank goodness for that:)
