EE- 7 Months

Our beautiful 7 month old girl!

Sweet sleep...we haven't seen much of this lately :(

One of her favorite tethers...toes!

She LOVES bath time!

Her new favorite thing: taking toys out of the basket...just load the basket back up when she's done. She will sit there and unload for a while :)

Our daughter turned seven months old this week. Yes seven- that means she is closer to a toddler than an infant. Sad, right? Anyway, this month has been trying to say the least. EE's ears have made us all about lose our minds. We have gone to see the pediatrician six times this month. All of those visits were for her ears except for one. That visit was her six month well-child check up. (A little late, I know!) But, thankfully, after a round of rocephin shots, her ears seem to be starting to recover. PRAISE GOD! I have missed my smiley baby!

Despite the illnesses, our baby girl continues to amaze us with such a sweet, peaceful demeanor. Even though she has had some bad infections, her crying and distress has been much calmer than all other babies I have ever seen. I praise God for that! EE you are such a blessing in so many ways. We love you!

Conversations

This morning I was laying on the floor talking to BA and CJ. We were discussing our plans for today. We talked about dinner. I asked, "Do you boys know what I am planning to cook for dinner tonight?" Before I could respond with the menu, CJ grinned and said, "Steak!" To his disappointment, that is not what we are having for dinner. (Although it doesn't sound that bad!) I thought it was pretty funny that a two year old enjoys steak. Don't you?

Wordless Wednesday

(First taste of cotton candy from a birthday party...let's just say they asked for more!)

Wordless Wednesday

"This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."
1 John 4:9-12

EE's Dedication Day

Sweet sleep

EE with Mom, Grandma, and Great Grandma (Nona)

Today was a special day for our family. It is the day we set aside for EE's dedication at church. In short, the dedication service was a time for us (EE's parents) to declare that we are committing to raise EE in a way that honors God. We hope to lead her to accept Jesus and follow after his will for her life. It is our prayer that she becomes everything God has planned for her to be.

The Big Bad Wolf

It is an understatement to say that our boys are fascinated with the big bad wolf. Well, last night we were having dinner with a sweet lady from our church (Ms. Jeanette). She happens to have a fireplace. While we were sitting around talking we heard some chimney sweeps in the chimney. Caleb thought it was the big bad wolf. He was obviously scared, and he about went berserk when Braden tried to open the doors to the fireplace. We did our best to convince him that the wolf was not in Ms. Jeanette's chimney. However, when he got up this morning, he was still saying the wolf was there...I'm guessing he will still want to go swimming at Ms. Jeanette's pool, but I bet he won't care to go inside! Oh, CJ!
