Christmas

Our little Makayla Rae is growing so fast. She is now 7 1/2 months old and is sitting very well on her own and trying to move while on her hands and knees but still no progress. She's such a big girl in so many ways and gets so excited and proud of herself when she learns something new. She laughs constantly, almost as if she thinks that everything she sees is funny. If I could describe her in one word it would be love. She loves EVERYONE. She smiles, and lights up a room when she's there. Our little angel I know is straight from Heaven and we thank our heavenly father for her daily. She has taught me so much in the time that she has been on this earth than I have learned in my lifetime. I have learned more about patience in the past 7 months then I thought was possible. She has so much patience with me as a mother. The way she looks into my eyes melts me every time. I couldn't live without the love of my little girl. She is innocent, pure, and perfect.

We had our first christmas with Kayla this year and eventhough she had more fun trying to eat the wrapping paper, it was the best time watching her try and figure it out. She got some great developmental toys and some clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Moultrie that she looks so beautiful in! Then again, I think she looks beautiful in anything.

She loves her laptop, eventhough she still wants to play with daddy's! Funny Girl!

Giving Thanks

Makayla is growing so fast. I can't believe that she is almost 7 months old. I have found myself being so full of thanks over the past few weeks for our wonderful daughter. I love her more than life. I can't imagine what life would be without her, my life would be over. Due to the situation I find someone else is in, I have prayed so much and thanked my heavenly father for the health of our child. For the past 2 weeks I have cried every day for the hurt of someone else and what they must be going through. I can't imagine what it would be like to not be able to change those smelly diapers, or watch her try and crawl like she is doing now. I love her laugh, her smile, her tiny little hands and feet, and yes, I even kiss her all over. She is so perfect. I hurt so bad for this family. I want to make it better, but I can't. I want to work a miracle, but can't. The lords will I'm sure will be done, but finding strength to accept it, will take a miracle in itself.
