Year 1 Nearly Completed

It's beginning to hit me, my precious baby boy, while still precious is only 9 days away from no longer being a baby. The feeling is bittersweet, watching him grow has been one of the single most rewarding experiences of my life.

He is so small & there is so much more world for him to explore & it really is gratifying watching him learn & take everything in. I pray that I have been doing a good job, that he grows up to love the Lord & lives according to the teachings in the Bible - that's not too much to ask for, I hope.

Now that 1 year is around the corner we have a lot of stuff to work on like walking & talking & of course perfecting self feeding & being weened from his bottle. I so wish we had some help all the way out here in Ohio, my mom would know exactly what to do. Maybe her not being here is a good thing, maybe then I have the chance to do it myself.

Wish me "luck" it's clear that I am sorta just winging it here, sure I visit parenting websites 3 times a week or more, I call my parents often, I flip through the stack of books I have & I pray a lot, but one can ever be prepared enough for parenthood. Call me crazy, but I am already thinking about baby #2.
