Blessings!

I can't believe how time flies! Elijah is already almost a year old! He'll be 1 in less than 2 weeks, yikes! I love staying home with him and being a stay at home mom, it's the best job ever. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Sure, there are challenging days, and tiring days, but it's all worth it to be able to raise my amazing, adorable son!  He is changing so fast too. He now starting to stand on his own, and he is still crawling all over getting into literally everything. It's only a matter of time until he starts walking. Now that is SCARY.  I don't know if I'm ready to have a toddler already. But I know that God will give me the abilities and patience I need to teach (and disicpline) my almost-toddler that way He would have me to.   And I'm glad God has given me so many other mom's and people who I can go to for advice. And the fact the Elijah has an amazing Dad (and I an amazing husband), is even better! I'm continually amazed at all of the blessings God has given me. I thank God for every new day He gives me with my family!

Elijah's Poem (he said this to me at lunch today)

Peas are good for squishing
And putting in my hair
Beans are good for throwing
Or hiding in my chair
"Eat all your yummy veggies"
Mommy likes to say
But I would so much rather
Play away the day
