They Keep Growing and Growing and Growing

Seriously. He's like the Energizer bunny if that rabbit were in the business of growing, rather than "going." Here is some photo documentation of this fact.

I know, I know...it's been quite awhile since I have blogged. It's not like I don't have post ideas whirling around in my head. It's just finding the time and not being intimidated by the fact that I might not get to put as much into it as I usually would.

God is so good.

It has been a stretching experience for me to wait on the Lord as I work full time and try to be the best mommy and wife I can be--not to mention, daughter of God. Balance is always so hard, no matter what stage of life we are in. There are always new areas of selfishness to battle. I still struggle with leaving my baby behind so often, but I am grateful he gets to spend so much time with family and for how God is drawing me nearer to Him. I could write a dozen posts just about all the lessons I am learning: about God as a perfect Father, about prayer, about trust, about love and sacrifice, about giving everything my all--and getting up again when I fall.

I love my family so much! I can't imagine what our life would be like without our little man. No matter how long we get to have Kieran in our lives, he has changed us for the better. The husband I know now is not the same husband I knew six months ago. The woman I am now is not the same, either. So, I guess you could say that we also continue to grow and grow.

On a lighter note, the little man is rolling all over the place. He has the strength to be on his tummy a lot and do some "baby push-ups," but he's not ready to crawl, yet. I am amazed by how fast he can get from one point to the other just by rolling; although, it's usually in an arc pattern. He is still nursing, and we have decided to put off introducing cereal to him for a few more weeks. And, while he chews on absolutely everything in sight, there are still no tooth appearances! We have so much fun playing with and talking to Kieran, making him laugh, reading books to him, playing little hand games and hide-and-seek and peek-a-boo...watching him learn so much every week.

I try to count my blessings everyday. Like this one, for instance, when I nursed Kieran then gave him to Jordan to cuddle up with while I showered. I came out of the bathroom to find this adorable sight and stealthily snapped a picture of what I consider to be two of my greatest blessings.
