Our Big Boy

Johshua loves to eat his daddy's hat!!!

Have I told you all lately that I love our son?? He completely just makes my heart swell every day! I am so blessed and thankful for him!

Joshua is trying SO HARD to crawl and cut his first teeth!! You can imagine our amusement as he backs himself into furniture. He will occasionally get up on his knees, and even sleeps with them tucked under him sometimes. But for right now, he just spins himself around and around in circles, and cries when he gets stuck. That's not funny - but he sure it cute!!

I'm pretty sure two teeth are coming in at the same time - one on the left bottom, and one on the right. He is fussier than he's ever been, but he has a very good reason!

Joshua is also EATING!!! We started him on solids about a month and a half ago, and he loves it! His favorite food is one I dislike - avocadoes! I'm going to make myself like them, just so that I can keep him eating it. I won't eat too much though - they are high in fat and calories, but they are good for the heart and brain! He loves sweet potatoes too, and he always has to have his own spoon.

As far as milk is concerned, we are still incredibly blessed. We received a freezer full two weeks ago, and I think it's going to last at least another week. We have a donation already lined up for when it's gone too- YAY, GOD!!!!

Those of you following our blog, please remind me to update it!!! That sounds silly, but I completely forget about it until one of you do! Thanks!

Whew...what a week!

God proved to me how amazing he is this week. Not that I need convincing, but He showed off anyway.
1.) We ran out of donor milk on Saturday. On Saturday late night, milk was donated to our door, enough for 3 days.
2.) We were contacted to pick up 3 more days worth of milk on Sunday.
3.) We were contacted to pick up a weeks worth of milk tomorrow.
4.) THREE mothers emailed me offering milk, with at least one being a regular donor.
5.) A feeding issue Joshua and I have been having for over a month was FIXED!
6.) I thought I had pink eye - but Joshua had just scratched my eye and caused an infection.
7.) I threw my back out doing aerobics with my third graders - but I feel much better, only 24 hours later.

I know most of those were about milk. BUT.... my heart really grieves over not being able to give my little one what he needs myself. God whispers to my heart that His grace is sufficient, and I see it as He still provides the liquid gold Joshua needs, regardless of the fact that it's not mine. I am so grateful.
