On the move!

This is how we spend our days of late...  You look at me with surprise before getting into a little mischief!


Oh the pots and pans!  They are just too much fun!


You also love to play with our dirty shoes and chew on them.  Yum!



Those will not hold your attention long as you soon discover that the stairs are nearby and off you go!



Through the foyer...



And up, up, up.  You would do this all day long if I let you.  It never gets old!




You are such a busy little bee.  I love it when I go in to get you in the morning and you are standing at the edge of your crib jumping up and down anxiously awaiting my arrival.  There is just nothing like that joy on your face and it fills me up with joy also!  This is frequently how your hair looks first thing in the morning... adorable!!




After breakfast you play contently in the playroom for quite a while... sometimes with me and sometimes without.







We have so much fun together!  You love to pull yourself up to standing using me as a crutch.  Sometimes I let go and you stand on your own for a few seconds and then take a few steps.  You love when I praise you!







You are getting so good!  But you are still a little timid with walking and prefer to crawl really fast to get from one place to another.  We have been working on your motor skills as well... the shape sorter is a favorite.







It is so much fun to watch you master things!  This has been a wonderful summer to just enjoy seeing you thrive and grow.

The days are starting to get shorter.  The mornings and evenings are cool again and I am sad to see this time go.  But I know God has all kinds of good things planned just around the corner.

I praise Him for his provision, for His goodness and faithfulness.  He has showered us with abundance and blessings!

The LORD is my strength and my song; 
he has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise him...

~Exodus 15:2
