Life's Blessings

It’s hard to believe that my son is almost 8 months old. This morning his daddy said it seems as if he didn’t get enough time with him as a baby. I know how he feels, and bear in mind that his daddy has spent more time with him than I have because he works from home and I sometimes have to work onsite. Owen is just so good with him.

On a totally different note, my son is becoming more independent everyday. I’ve seen him periodically struggle to hold on and stand in the crib and playpen. He’s already so determined and has succeeded a few times in the crib, but poor little, Jalen, can only manage to kneel in his playpen. Funny enough, he is already holding on and standing with ease in the sofa. Well, what do you know…today I was out all day and the little man went ahead and stood in the playpen... Again his daddy saw one of his firsts. I’m so happy though, that his hard work has paid off.

He was so happy to see me last night when I got home…he just reached out for me with a big grin on his angelic little face. Children are truly God’s gift to us. How can someone so little control you so totally is a mystery to me. All I know is that each day I’ve something more to be grateful for and to thank God for His blessings…great and small.

Well, it’s time to start a new day with all its challenges.
