Sweet Moments


Last night Mia came into our room to lay with us because she was scared. While she was laying with us I vaguely remember a couple of conversations. At one point she woke me up to ask if she got lost and couldn't remember her phone number if Jesus would help her to remember it. I wasn't sure how to answer it, so I just told her (half asleep) that Jesus would probably help her to remember it but he also probably wants us to try to memorize our phone number. Later after I sent her back to her bed, she left then came back and asked if I would say a prayer for her because she was scared. I always have the kids say a prayer when they come to me when they have had a bad dream or are scared. We ask that Heavenly Father and Jesus will comfort them. It made me happy that she remembers and is starting to have faith in prayer. Even though I was half asleep last night, extremely tired and had her in my bed bed practically laying on top of me, it was a sweet moment.

Eddie {9 MONTHS}

Eddie had his 9 month check-up last week.
Here are the stats:
Weight-19 lbs (53 percentile)
Height- 28 inches (33 percentile)
The Doctor said he looks great. The only concern we had was about him wanting to eat again in the middle of the night, which the doctor said at this age a lot of babies get separation anxiety. So basically we just have to let him cry it out because he should be able to sleep through the night without eating. He has been doing well since the doctor appointment and has only woke up once in the middle of the night.
Eddie can now stand up holding onto furniture, climb up the stairs (ugh), clap, wave hi, say mama and dada and pick up food with his pincher fingers. He loves to be sung to and loves attention from his brother and sister. He is absolutely terrified of swings and doesn't like bread (I have no idea why). He still cries every I put him in the car seat and when I wipe his face after each meal. We love Eddie so much and can't believe how old he is already. I can't wait to watch him grow more and start seeing more and more what his personality is like!
