His First Time

Gabe got to hold you for the first time. 

You took a piece of his heart.  Well, not really.  Proverbs 4: 23 says,

Above all else, guard your heart,
   for everything you do flows from it.

But this magical moment created in him a very special affection for you.

You are now his little girl. 

He tells everyone that you are his “ister.”

You have a bodyguard for life.  It is he who tells me when you are crying.

Though God knows every hair on your head . . . Gabe sure searched you out.

 

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.  (Luke 12: 6-7)

Day 26

Day 27

Today you got to meet the Hartman’s and learn about Egypt, along with your brothers and go to a baby shower and go to Nate’s birthday! 

When I survey your clothes and the amount of detail that somebody, somewhere spent on making them . . .

. . . it really causes awe to come across my thoughts . . . wonder at the creativity the Lord had when He made us . . .

when He made you.  

And then to think that we can know Him and have a personal relationship with the Lord, He who created us uniquely.

 

Day 28

 

You have such a good daddy . . .

and he has such a sweet daughter.

Day 29

Day 30

Everyone was having a little leche . . . except yours wasn’t chocolate!

Day 31

365/12

Today, you looked like a cupcake.  Please don’t be mad at me.  The outfit is stinkin’ cute.

You were wearing something else that Daddy dressed you in . . . but I didn’t quite get your prefold tight enough after I fed you, and . . . well . . . poop happened before I got your picture taken. 

You spent most of the day in the Moby . . . your favorite place, probably.

Here is a picture of your family . . . minus a sleeping brother . . . and your grandparents. 

We won’t leave your grandparents out . . .

Or your brother . . .

Or that fact that Mommy got to have Chinese.  Aunt ‘Cole and I “worked” the budget a bit to make take-out dinner possible.  I mean, Aunt ‘Cole and the family hadn’t met you yet!  We needed to celebrate!

Happy 1 Week!

Today marks the fact that you have been dressed in pink for a week!  Wow! 

I have so much to say about you, and so little time, because I really need to take a nap before you wake up!

But here is a sneak peak at your photo shoot from yesterday. 

In the future, I plan on doing a weekly meme called, "God made you special."  It will feature all the ways that I believe God made you special.  And hopefully, others will join up with us and share how God made their children special! 

Like I said . . . only a teaser!  Stay tuned for more photos!
