"He Fall down, Momma. He get wet"

"He fixed it"

Not sure what he is remembering I did have to reattach the petal the other day so maybe that is what he is remembering

"Building Momma! Helicopter, right here, Momma"

7 months old

Dear Landon,

I cannot believe that another month has already flown by! You are crawling around like crazy you can sit with your hands out to hold you up. You seem to know that baby toys arn't as cool as other things and don't really like when I give you baby toys. You would rather have Carter's toys or a shiny bowl but not a silly baby toy. :) You don't like being the horse when Carter wants to play horsey..

Food isn't totally down pat you seem to like sweet potatoes and applesauce. You gag on rice cereal (I can totally see why) and you don't really like green beans. You love the rice cereal puffs and Carter enjoys taking them from the tray and eating them for you.

You are doing better at sleeping through the night and it totally helps that you have your own room and your own real bed. Daddy sings this song to me often when he is holding you "I only have eyes for you.. " you follow me with your eyes and long for me when others hold you. It is really quite flattering We love you!

Love you Forever.

Momma

The best life

I shouldn't be blogging. I've felt a little bit down the last few days with very good reason. We just moved in. I love our house. (I love our couches it's been over 2 months since I've sat on them and when the movers dropped them off it was bliss to sit on my couches!) Anyways we had an eventful weekend. Landon had a small fever last week and than Carter got it too on Friday but no big deal it's just a small fever. WRONG.. Carter suffers from Febrile Seizures which is not a big deal but it is when he has one at Lowe's. Long story shortened a bit we ended up at the ER and because he also had a collision with the tile floor earlier that day not only did we have an IV but we had a CAT scan as well. I felt pretty down on myself got a case of the should-ofs along with my own fever, and sickness. Ryan is pretty sick too. Hopefully by the end of the day we will all be feeling much better!

I read this today. This bloggers words on gratitude despite/because of trials really touched me. I also heard about an old friend's niece Preslee who is holding on to life despite drowning last week. Her parents are already at peace with the situation and are praying for their little girl with all their heart.

I know this isn't anything new but it was so nice for me to read these posts during my crazy life and realize that I need to just love my perfectly imperfect life!
