Slow down baby!!


Our baby is 6 months old. Sigh. She is just growing too fast, and being the second child it seems as though all the milestone moments are coming and going way too quickly. I thought it would be fun to share some adorable/favorite things about our baby girl:
*She loves to eat
*She chews on everything and this little habit formed seconds after her being born
*Everyday that goes by, i miss nursing her
*I smile everytime she smiles
*Daddy has nicknamed her "Boo Boo"
*She has just started to laugh out loud
*She went from Daddys girl to mommys girl (Big smile)
*I sneak up on her all the time when she is sleeping
*She hates getting dressed
*She loves her soother
*She just started experiencing baby food and the faces she makes are priceless
*She shows no interest in crawling
*Bathtime is one of her very favorites
*She doesnt like to be on her back
*She is extremely close to sitting unassisted
There is not a day that goes by that i dont thank Jesus for giving her to us ♥

This is just the beginning.....

Our journey with fostering has almost began. We had a social worker come out to our home on Monday and meet with us and the kids and get a feel for what kind of children will be placed with us. We discussed many things in depth and i felt so much more at peace after she left. Our paperwork is nearly completed and we are getting very close to being placed. We were almost given the opportunity to care for 2 boys ages 3 and 1 but provinical requirments dont allow more than 3 children under the age of 3. Then we got a phone call the next day about two girls, ages 5 & 4 also sisters, and we were very excited about this opportunity but it also fell through. So, we wait, and we lean on God. I know that God is hand picking these children to be placed in our home and to us, thats really exciting. I know this is going to be one of the hardest things i will ever go through in my life. Experiencing issues, attatchment, love, tears, joy, and then..goodbye. But, "If He brings you to it, He will bring you through it.."
Until then, its fun getting ready and preparing our home and our hearts for these children and the amazing opportunity to give them a small piece of their life they may have never been given the chance to experience before.
