John is napping on our bed, has been for an hour.  He’s such a terrific baby.  So sweet, quick to smile, happy, rarely fussy and never fussy without a purpose, be it because he’s sleepy or hungry.  And he’s so beautiful.  I know you aren’t supposed to say a baby boy is beautiful, nor is his own mama supposed to say such things, but he really is a beautiful little guy.  He’s got such wonderful bright blue eyes too.  God really did give us a miracle when He gave us John.

And everyday I pray I don’t mess up raising him.  I know a parent can’t be perfect, but I sure would like to not mess up too badly.  I pray daily for God’s grace to know what to do, how to do it and how best to be what John needs to be a healthy, vibrant, kind, caring person.

Today we are headed out early to have lunch with Dave and visit with Dave’s co-workers.  They haven’t seen him in several months and he certainly has changed a lot!  He’s grown and developed so much since they’ve seen him.  He can crawl now.  He wants to walk so badly though.  He crawls a short distance, then tries to stand getting his legs straight but not knowing what to do next.  Then he goes back to crawling or scooting.
