Wow! It feels like I haven’t written for years. What a difference three weeks makes. So, as you can tell, I’m dropping down Eli’s documentation to once a month now that he’s one. I would definitely have enough material to do it weekly, but I want to be able to do for our future child(ren) whatever I do for Eli. This year my goal is to have 4 steady pictures a month. Two of scale (one with his elephant, one with his chair), one with something that is his favorite, and one portrait so we can see how his face changes over his toddlerhood- everything else is gravy. Before we get into his update I’ll just touch on the happenings of the rest of the family.
Starting Tuesday I am going to be a guest speaker for a 6 week small group focusing on overcoming anxiety using Biblical tools and techniques. I have been spending most nights writing up material and sending it to the leader, my great friend Natasha. It’s been pretty busy, but it’s also been exciting and encouraging. I am so thrilled she thought of me and I’m seriously looking forward to sitting in her portion of the group as well which will use music therapy. Please be praying for us both as we put ourselves out there. Pray that God uses us to bless the group and further his kingdom. And hey- if you’re interested you can still sign up here.
Josh and I just celebrated Valentine’s Day last weekend. We went to a Preds game which was actually a lot of fun. I wouldn’t mind going a lot more often, especially when Eli gets into it. How fun will that be? Then we went to The Southern and I know Nashvillians are going to kill me, but…it was okay. Yes! Just OKAY. I obviously built it up in my mind to be de-licious, so I was not super impressed. Take me to Flemings any day. I’m a simple kind of girl. Overall though, I give the day itself two thumbs up.
Other than that we had a bit of snowfall and then 60 degree weather. Hey- I’m for it.
Eli: Month 13
I say new words like… “No”, “dog”, and “this”
I have 13 teeth
I weigh 22 lbs 10 oz
My favorite food is chicken tortellini and blueberries
My favorite toy is my walker and my stuffed otter
Some other things I did include… sleeping through the night twice! I met my new doctor, who said he thinks I’ll grow up to be 5’ 9”! I like to drain the bath when I’m done, try to jump the baby gate, run my walker into Kito, and climb, climb, climb. I love Mother Goose story time at the library. I sit there so attentively and quietly. I am one of the happiest babies around. Even though I’m walking, I still like my walker because I can run with that.
Have a great Feb!
