Time Flies

No matter where we go you grab people's attention. Babies seem to be a magnet for friendly faces and smiles from strangers. What is it about a baby that bonds people who have never met? The innocence of youth maybe. The wide-eyed wonderment of a life experiencing everything for the first time. Some know your story - some don't. The best is when people tell us you look like daddy or me. It just thrills me to think that even that detail was something God worked out perfectly.

They say time flies when you're having fun. And everywhere we go fellow parents tell us to enjoy every minute because children grow up too fast.

And the cliches are becoming reality. You are growing up right before our very eyes. It helps me be so very mindful of the blessing you are - our miracle. I simply don't want to forget.

Everyone asks us if we'll adopt again. The simple answer is I don't know. All I do know is I want to enjoy every minute. If I only get one chance, I want to make sure to take in every gummy smile, each belly laugh and the many faces you share. I want to remember all the little milestones - from rolling over to the first words and steps yet to come.

What people know about our story is you're an answer to prayer...but what they may not know is we got several no's before we were told yes. From not being able to conceive, to a baby placed in my arms in Brazil, and then two other birthmother interviews before we were chosen by Sara...there were mixed emotions, hurt feelings, tears and lots of prayers before we finally met you. Those are things I don't want to forget either, because that is all part of the process that lead us to you.














So full of personality - so much so that he not only refuses to smile for the camera but now he actually tries to get away from me when I have it. Good thing all he can do right now is roll!
