dear august,

everyday, your daddy shows me what it is like to be more like Jesus. more than once a day, i am in awe that God deemed me worthy enough to be loved by him. that He deemed me worthy to share life with him.

i desperately hope and i pray that you find someone that loves you so much as to point you to Christ in all that she does.

i love you,
momma

dear little son,

today, you are seven months and 12 days old. your mommy has been really bad at updating the internet with pictures and news to your development and all of the wonderful ways that you’re growing.

dear baby boy,

you are six months old! SIX MONTHS OLD! half a whole year old.

wow, wow, wow.

wow.

i am so in awe of this fact that i am not sure what to type. or where to even begin. the past few days i have been formulating in my head what i was going to write you this month…and have found myself even trying to figure out what exactly that i’m feeling.

since last entry, august has had a few healthy bowel movements…and we didn’t really change anything. of course, i don’t know if the constipation had anything to do with anything i was eating or not getting enough of but literally, like the day after, he had one and then the next day– two. and they were pretty rank. they seem to be consistent again so i hope they stay that way!

thanks for the advice, amanda and lauren. <3

this past week august has been a little wreck. i attribute most of it to two little teeth we saw come in a few days ago. his two bottom front teeth. poor little guy.

happy seven months, babuh-boy.

i can’t believe he’s already seven months old. i feel like he should be half that. he’s just growing too fast! *sigh*

i know i have been awful at being an internet mommy with the uploading pictures, letters, and everything else but when i have a few spare moments that i won’t feel like using toward vegging with mark, i will try and get some other updates posted.

i kind of can’t believe that he is already six months old. time has really flown. but, if it were even possible, every day he is even more adorable and beautiful than the last.

this picture was taken a couple of days ago at, our friend, shelly’s home. i would have taken a picture of him today, or even yesterday, to post here but poor little guy has the flu and the last thing i think he wants, is a camera in his face. so, you’ll have to feast your eyes on the cuteness that was two days ago.

hopefully i can be on top of his monthly letter and pictures before aunt jennifer comes this weekend!

this took me FOR-EH-VER. not just to finally get to posting but to sort through, pick out favs, pull off of mark’s computer, pull up on my computer, resize, edit, and upload all the while taking care of baby boy.

this is also a little picture heavy. it’s those holiday pics, man! i only picked out my favs and the ones that kinda’ told a story of his fifth month. i will be updating lots more pictures and complete albums on facebook soon.

while browsing back at the last few monthly picture posts i’ve posted, i noticed that i’m pretty much excusing/beating myself up for doing such a poor job at keeping on top of the picture uploading.

i decided to spare you and myself of that this time around.

behind the link are august’s four month pictures. (you’ve probably seen a few of these on facebook if you and i are facebook friends.)
