Full of Life!

Margaret is seven months and full of life more than ever. Her big personality is starting to come out. She smiles a lot, maybe because I smile a lot at her (or at least I'm hoping that's why), but for the most part, she seems to be content and taking in EVERYTHING.


I pray she's the type of gal that looks at the world and says what can I do for you and how can I make it better? I want her to be a glass full type of girl, not half way full, but completely full!


She recently started babbling, making sounds, sticking her tongue to her lips like she wants to talk. I love watching this. She stops and listens to me when I talk to her. I imagine she's trying to say back "Mama, why are you always talking?!" I've read it's important to talk to your babies from day one, tell them what you're doing, ask them how their day was, tell them about your day, and always keep your conversations positive, as they can sense when trouble is around.


She's sitting up now, all by herself. When I find myself playing with her on the floor, I often just stop and stare. I'm amazed at how much she has learned over the course of seven months. How can her small teenie brain take in so much information? She is seven months... a mere baby... it's such a miracle.


On top of sitting up, she experienced her first high chair evening this past Friday. We were quite amused because the entire time her head was turned flirting with the nine month old little boy across the restaurant. (insert monkey with hands over eyes emojoi). She loves nursery at church too. The families and high school girls always tell me how  playful she is with the other babies. This makes me more confident in our decision to send her to EDS in August.


Everyday I try to incorporate something new that Margaret hasn't experienced. Whether it's a new book, new food, new activity or a new song, I just want her to constantly grow. I also pray with her a night before I put her down. I've told her about Jesus and how much he loves us. Hopefully one day she will know and feel his love.
