Benjamin - almost 11 months old
and much too busy to do something mundane like look at the camera for a picture. He's off, crawling and exploring. Testing his boundaries and finding out just how many ornaments he can pluck from the tree in 30 seconds. Christmas trees and toddlers are always an interesting combination. All of the "good" ornaments are way up out of their reach, put on branches that are then twisted into a bow practically to make sure they stay put.
As always, our half tree is bungeed to the wall. Gotta say, every year we have only half a tree, I'm even more impressed with it. It looks great and only takes up half the floor space it would otherwise.
Zac has Benjamin every weekend while Andie is at work, so they have been hanging out more at Mamawland, and Ben is getting more and more comfortable with me. Yesterday, he even laid his head on me when he was sleepy. Might not mean much to most people, but that's a major breakthrough around here. He has always just wanted his mom or dad to hold him.
I know the day is coming when he loves Mamawland as much as Soph and Keegan do. I can't wait.
5 bits to share:
He is so cute. I just love those fat cheeks. :)
Now that you're not working you can see him a lot more often! He'll have you eating out of his hand in no time!
Hope the 3AM session went well!
Know that you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers! Look to the Lord for all things!
Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
He's just so adorable!
Am here praying!
Psalms 27:1, 4-5 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?...One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Whether or not a miserable sinner like me is praying for you isn't that big a deal. That's why these verses are so special to me and why I end up sharing them quite often. What an amazing blessing and comfort to know that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for YOU!
Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
