I can't wait for Lexi to crawl. To walk. To talk. To play dress up. To snuggle with me while taking a nap. To have birthday parties. I can't wait to see her grow up and be successful. I say it all the time, "I can't wait." But in reality, I can. I can wait because I realized today how quickly everything is changing. She is growing up in a blink of an eye. She literally does something new every single day. She rolls across the room. She sleeps on her stomach now. She can feed herself small bites of food. She has two teeth. She walks with one foot in front of the other when you hold her hands. She can sign "milk." She only takes 2 naps instead of 3. My baby girl is growing up. She is becoming a toddler.
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
