army crawling

God is great. He has blessed me so much. I often wonder what it is that I have done to be so blessed. I am just a simple person who tries to mind my own business. No lives have been saved because of me, no cancers have been cured because of me, so why is it that I have so many good things in my life. I do thank God for this every day, but, I wonder it even more when I hear sad news. I am so happy that I am blessed but other families who are just like me have to go through something so tragic.

A co-worker of mine just said that he has a niece who is only 7 weeks old who is going to die. She has Down ’s syndrome and with that as we all know, comes several health problems at times. Her health issues was a heart problem and another, sorry I can’t remember. After one of her surgeries last week, she coded. When the doctors were performing CPR on her, they hit a pin that was in her chest and the pin then went into her heart. They got her back, but she lost all brain activity. Next week the whole family will go down to say their good-byes to a little girl who they just said hello to. For this family, God blessed them with all his love. Even though they will not get to see her grow up, their hearts still grew that much more. In a time so difficult as this, I am sure it is hard for them to see it this way.

Stories such as this one, makes me think, “wow, I can’t believe how lucky I am.” I know I have said several times on this blog how lucky and blessed I am but it never seizes to amaze me. I watched a movie the other day that was a very good one and I recommend it to all of you. “Letters to God”. The movie shows how important prayer and faith is. It is about a boy who has cancer and wrights to God. They are short but affective letters. Long story short, good movie, watch it =)

On how blessed I am, I will say a little about Mr. William. He is officially army crawling!!! It is so cute, he even gets his legs going at times, just doesn’t have his butt in the air. Any day now and we will have to baby-proof the house! Just the other day, I was cleaning in the bathroom and heard a loud thud. I go in the living room and he has pulled the speaker onto himself from on top of the TV. He’s a tough guy though, no crying! Will is now going through teething. Any day now I am expecting to see his little pearly whites poke through. He is cranky, gums sore, runny nose, sometimes temp… any day now! Until then, baby Tylenol and lots of love.

Big boy

Just a quick update. Will weighed in at 20lb 12 oz! That is 90% and he was 27" that is 75%. I think she measured him wrong in his height though because that means he only grew an inch in 2 months. He is so close to crawling it is funny. He does this great little inch werm thing. Too cute! I took a video of it yesterday. If I can figure out how to post it I will. Anyway, I dont have to much more to update and not really in a talking mood so we will call that good until another day! =)

6 months old already?!?!?

Oh WOW! I cant believe that my little man is almost 6 months old!!!! Really? What happened to the time? I wonder that especially since most of the last 6 months have been awake, or at least cat naps. It has been great. I dont think that Dennis and I really knew how awesome parenthood would be. We truly lucked out with my work and how time has worked out for us. Knowing time would be a challenge during chopping season and having to rely on family, we have been lucky and made it through. This next week ahead is going to be a busy one!! Will has his 6 month check up on Tuesday and then 6 month photos on Wednesday and THEN 6 month shots next Monday. As always, Dennis and I are anxious to know how big he is. Dennis is constantly weighing him on our scales so, accurate they are not, but close.

I won a photoshoot with a lady in Kansas City. Darla Peters. Check her out if you want. She does amazing work. I think I'm going to try to get Dennis to make a weekend out of it. We also get a cd with some images on it too.

Chopping season is getting closer to an end. That is making Will and I pretty excited. Then we will have Dennis around again. That makes both of us happy. I will update next week after Will's appointment and let you know how big our little linebacker is!
