It’s April and my baby is growing up way too fast! However, I am breaking my own rule and wishing time away. It is, in fact, against our family motto.
But…life has been full. Last week Josh and I did a ton of spring cleaning, held a garage sale, and had three meetings between us. I also started watching an adorable little baby and am anxiously awaiting my parent’s arrival in 16 short days! Most of my wishing though stems for a desire for Eli to feel better. I thought he just had seasonal allergies but he spiked a bit of a fever today. Here’s to comforting my baby and praying away his sickness.
In other news, Natasha and I finished up round one of the ReSOUNDing Peace smallgroup and are excited to see what becomes of round two- happening this summer. It was (and is) so exciting to see what God is doing in that. This month I also have a family of 6 photo session scheduled (yay!) and am working on a skin tone class. By the way- how did I never know about graduated filters? So good. So anyways- fullness of life is good, but so is rest.
Eli: Month 15
I say new words like… baby, yeah, sit, belly
I have 16 teeth
I weigh ? We will know Friday!
My favorite food is bananas! I eat up to two per breakfast. They were out of favor for a while but now I love them again
My favorite toy is my broom or my beloved lawnmower Mimi and Sabba got me for Easter
Some other things I did include… learning to blow kisses; pointing to my belly, head, and ears on demand; making monkey and elephant noises (complete with a trunk-arm mime); copying mom when she whistles; attempting to put on mom and dad’s shoes; using my fork; spilling juice so I can dip my food in it; copying Kito’s sneeze; signing ‘show’; trying to drink my juice from my sippie while my binkie is in my mouth; pretending to laugh on the phone like mom; playing with mom’s hair to put myself to sleep.
A memorable moment for mom was…when we were having a family hug and he made Josh and I kiss by pushing our faces together! ha. I also think it’s hilarious that he hates hugs from kids, but loves them from adults.
Have a great April!
