We made it. We’ve reached a huge milestone. Not so much for you, but for us as parents. One year ago today (February 3rd actually, not the day this was posted) I birthed you into this world after God knit you together in my womb. It is a miraculous process. It’s also a terrifying process…

12 Months
Ahhh! 12 months is here! Happy birthday blue eyes! It’s been another wonderful month of play, laughter, and discovering the world. And walking. Lots and lots of walking. His biggest development this month has been walking. At the end of last month he had just started taking more than a couple of steps. Now, a…
Eleven Months
Late again… sitting in the draft folder for a couple of weeks. This is my reality. Cheers! Happy 11 month birthday blue eyes! We’ve almost made it to the one year mark… what a difference a year makes. December was a blast. Between the developmental leaps and Christmas all kinds of interesting stuff went on….
2016 Theme Word: Surrender
Reflection is upon us. A look back at the year we lived. The ups, downs, joys, and hurts. The biggest change of my life happened and I am different because of it. There is a lot stirring in my heart right now. It’s a shift, a breaking of sorts. Most of which is best left…
Ten Months
Busy busy month! I knew in the back of my mind I wasn’t going to get this update out on time. With hosting Friendsgiving, buying a car, and a week long trip down to Southern California for Thanksgiving, November disappeared quickly. December is already feeling like it’s out the door as well but that is…
Nine Months
October was a busy month for both us as a family and in Gabe’s growth. Sometimes it feels hard to keep up with the leaps and little things that are happening. Things can be pretty uneventful or there will be a small thing here and there and then bam! Big changes. Though sometimes I think…
Eight Months: Stand, Stand By Me
Getting this post out a bit later than I would have liked so things are a bit mishmashed. A few details and pictures may be missing but with the month we’ve had, that is quite alright. This month we saw the most development in his mobility and movement. Along with that his learning and adapting…
Family Photos 2015
Last month something came up where we needed an updated family picture and we needed it pretty quick. We didn’t want to use one from the newborn shoot because well… Gabe was a newborn! He has grown so much and I wanted that reflected in the photos. It needed to be a good picture too….
Seven Months
After Gabe hit six months I wasn’t sure what to expect for month seven. Six months is a big mile stone because a lot of developmental stuff happens around that time. Turns out seven months is just as interesting. While things may have started at six months the volume sure was turned up for month…
Gabriel’s Six Months Photos
It is kind of amazing to look back and see how much Gabe has grown in the last six months. Even though it is happening before your very eyes, it isn’t until a onesie no longer fits or he can reach something he couldn’t before do you notice the growth. So we decided we wanted…
Six Months: Movement, Touch, & Exploration
Six months is here! It has been a fascinating month seeing his growth expressed. He has gone from fragile baby to sturdy strong and eager to explore. When I hold him he now has this compulsion to look around the room, lock eyes on an item and reach out for said item. And then we…
Scripture Songs
Early on in my pregnancy I realized that every time I sang to God I was given a gift. While praising God I was at the same time singing over Gabe. Gabe heard every word I sang out. Same for when we would meet for prayer before church. Every word I spoke was spoken over…
