I did some research in Aliza’s baby book (ie. this blog) and found that she started crawling around 7.5 months. I had been hoping that Judson would be a late crawler like Norah, but alas. Here he is at 7.5 months old… on the move! Along with the mad crawling skillz came a heavy dose [...]

[Click] [Hisssssss] That was the sound of the air conditioner shutting off [ie. breaking] last night at 3:30am. I know exactly what time it was because I was already waking up [3.5-month-old baby].

I was reading a book on motherhood and was encouraged by the author’s commentary on this verse and thought I’d share. “Everyone to whom God has given wealth, and possessions, and the power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil– this is the gift of God. For he will [...]
