Where does the time go?





Wow!! Our dear sweet friends and family, I apologize that over a month has passed and we haven't kept up with our blog. We get really busy during Spring and Summer with our other commitments and before you know it a week has passed and then another. We are doing great!! Xander had a rough go last week with an ear infection but he is well on the mend and so sweet. He rolls everywhere. He would rather stand than sit and doesn't have a tremendous amount of interest in crawling. He gets where he wants to pretty well. He still belly laughs daily and makes us belly laugh too.

Can a 7 1/2 month old be a comedian already?
He loves to get a crazy response from us by something that he does or a sound that he makes and then our response makes him laugh out loud. He absolutely loves to be outside! Hallelujah! Could you imagine Jason and I with an indoor only baby? That would be tough. He is already saying.. ma-ma, ba-ba and has said

da-da a couple of times. He is so full of personality and has very strong opinions and feels free to express them. I hope he keeps that, well, at least expressing them with tact. Of course, when he is old enough to understand. His curiousity and sense of wonder is so beautiful to observe. God is an amazing god. I stand in awe at His creation and even more so in our child. Do you realize that we were each knitted so beautifully together in our mother's womb? We are designed to be just like we are right now with of course room to grow into what God's ultimate plan is for us. It just makes me speechless.
Beauty. Beauty. Beauty and Wonder. God. Always.
We love you. We miss you. We cherish our relationships with you. Thank you for being a part of our lives. Thank you for allowing God to weave you into His tapestry.
