We've been able to experience so many amazing things together. I'm a better person because of Alan and I'm so thankful for him in my life. I can't wait to spend the next 50 years with him!!!!Fast forward: Long overdue 5 month post:
Here's a cute one of Caleb in his crib
Here is my attempt to get a "5 month" shot like I have for the last few months. It turned out to be impossible, as you can see:
Caleb, you have grown so much over the past month and are such a joy in my life. You woke me up a lot last night to eat, but this morning, you giggled and giggled as I got you ready for the day. I've been getting glimpses of the fact that you is going to grow up to be a boy and man. I'm satisfied for you to stay all baby at this point. You've grown to be about 16 pounds, eat between 6-8 times a day. You go to bed around 6:30 or 7 and get up around 7 or 8. You started eating solids regularly this month. So far you've had rice cereal, oatmeal, pears, carrots, and green beans. You're getting better and better at swallowing the food :). You've really started to sit with a little help. You love your bath and are still chewing on everything you can get your hands on. One of these days you are going to sprout those teeth. I love you so much and can't believe that you are my son. I'm so lucky!Finally: Pray for us because we are extremely busy. Work is a bit overwhelming right now with tons and tons of meetings/reports each week. We've been going like crazy trying to get our house ready to go on the market (hopefully this weekend). We're heading to Italy on Saturday (do not think I'm complaining about this- it's just that we may not have timed this perfectly :) oops!) There are also so many details that need to fall into place for our move. I just realized today that we will be moving to KC in exactly 2 months. That's craziness, people. We sang a song at church today that I've never really thought too much about, but it really spoke to my heart.
"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, wait upon the Lord, wait upon the Lord. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, wait upon the Lord, wait upon the Lord. Our God, you reign forever. Our hope, our strong deliverer. You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God. You do not faint, you won't grow weary. You're the defender of the weak, you comfort those in need, you lift us up on wings like eagles."
Although I feel tired and weary, I have a God who does not grow weary. He promises to be my strength and portion. Thank you, Jesus for being all that I need!
(sorry about the marathon post- I may not post again til we return from Italy- and it will already be April by then!!!)
