For most people, Wednesday is just an ordinary day of the week. "Hump Day" if you will. For me, since I have moved back, Wednesdays have become one of my favorite days of the week. On Wednesday nights Misty, Angie, Cathie and Brady come over and we eat dessert and study God's word together. It's such a sweet time with sweet girls. I love that the Lord has all of our relationships growing deeper and stronger not only with Him, but also with each other. These are the kind of girls that you can be open and vulnerable with, pour your heart out to, let them see how sinful you REALLY are, and never ever once feel judged or unaccepted. I truly believe that authentic, deep friendships are one of the greatest gifts from the Lord. For me, it restores my soul to talk to these girls, hear about their lives, mourn with them, rejoice with them, LAUGH with them, pray with them...just walk through life with them. Each of these girls are so special and love the Lord so much, and it has encouraged me and challenged me in my own personal walk. I am so thankful for many things, but I will say that these girls definitely rank somewhere at the top of my list. Yay for being back in Fairhope and able to spend as much time as possible with these girls!
As for Foxie... teething, teething, and more teething. As soon as the first tooth broke through, we were able to get some relief for a few days. Ahh, but that has long passed and we are back to gnawing on anything we can get our chubby hands on. Thank goodness the crib has a guard on it because when he is SCREAMING at 6:30 on the morning (sometimes 5:30!), I go to his room and find him chomping away on the crib. If it weren't for the guard, he would have eaten his way out of the crib. We were playing outside a little while ago and I took a quick peek (it has to be quick...he doesn't LOVE it when I dig in his mouth :)) and I saw tooth #2 coming in at the bottom beside the first one. I am actually asking the Easter Bunny to bring Knox a FULL set of teeth on Easter morning. The thought of carrying this out for many more months to come is not a pleasant one.
It's also a little hectic with his crawling and pulling up. He is everywhere and I can't take my eyes off of him! I left the room for 2 seconds the other day and he made a bee-line to Maddox's water bowl and when I turned the corner, he was holing it up in the air covered in water...just laughing away! He will pull up on anything. My leg, your leg, the ironing board, Maddox, etc. It's all super safe, and by that I mean OPPOSITE DAY! He's busted it many times already and I can only imagine what the future holds. So, life has changed a little bit for us :).
His new thing is waving. Super, DUPER cute. He doesn't really understand it too well, but he really likes doing it. Tried to get it on video, but of course he wasn't having it. I also tried to get a snap shot of his one and a half tooth, but he wasn't having that either. After I got a shot of his chin, nose, lips, and ear, I gave up on the teeth and just took a regular picture!
I hope everyone has an amazing Easter weekend!!!
Hate to break it to ya, but we are on month 5 of teething and STILL gnawing on everything. And since my precious child refuses a paci, EVERYTHING enters her mouth.
ReplyDeleteI won't know what to do when I hand her something and she actually plays with it instead of chewing on it!!
Jeremiah is a marathon teether-meaning it takes us forever to cut a tooth and at 22 months, we still have 7 more to go!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, Jeremiah's favorite thing to quickly get into was Piper's dog bowls and it took me forever to break the habit. We have had many spilled water bowls and I have dug numerous pieces of dog food out of his mouth:)
So all that to say, him and Knox have a lot in common. He looks so cute in the picture by the way!!!
