Lexi is officially off the bottle. Lexi spent the night with Mimi and Paw Paw Saturday night and she didn't want the bedtime bottle or the morning bottle on Sunday. So, last night she had a cup of milk during and after dinner. When she finished we read a book, brushed her teeth, and put her to bed. Not one tear from her. This morning when she woke up I fed her breakfast and gave her a cup of milk. I was sad last night about it, because I love cuddling with Lexi while she drinks her bottle. She made me smile from ear to ear this morning though while she sat on my lap the whole time she drank her cup. Our sweet girl is 100% a toddler now. It may take me a little while to not cry for the bottle, but Lexi is handling it just fine!
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
