8 months can you believe it!

because I sure can't! our little baby is now 8 months old! She is growing up too fast.  I came to the realization yesterday that we are raising our daughter so that she is strong and capable enough to leave us one day.  This makes me very sad as she will one day no longer be here for us to hug every day and very happy as she will be an amazing woman.  So, basically I am trying to work myself right out my job! and what a great job it is. I count my blessing every minute because there are so many for me to cherish.

Like our 1st family 5K in April 

Watching her "fly" with daddy after a bike ride and the Farmer's Market

Laughing while helping me fold laundry.  Mad's baby laughs are so contagious, if I could bottle them up I would 

Mads was baptized on May 2nd @ St Therese Catholic Church-it obviously made her very tired!

 

Enjoying the Davidon Concerts on the Green 

Getting ready to watch daddy play golf or watch golf ;)

The fact that she would rather stand than crawl

and when she does try to crawl she would rather scoot backwards on her heiny

I worry about what we do, if it the right thing for our family and I am reminded of a long ago bible verse from days at Island Christian

"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Matthew 6:34

She reminds us every day how important everything we do is, because everything we do affects her just as much as it does us if not more so.  She is a precious gift.  I have a great husband and baby girl.  I have never been so in love.  

A friend has a quote that I love and it goes like this "Enjoy these moments, because this moment is your life"

What a life.
