17 Months & Walking!

YES WE FINALLY HAVE A WALKER!!!



So it is definitely official, my little girl has graduated from babyhood to toddlerhood. I guess the next milestones are moving to a toddler bed (by the way, when do you know it's time to switch?) and potty training. She also has gotten very good at brushing her teeth.


Now seeing her get so big it is really making me baby hungry again. Ah well, that will happen in God's good timing.

I am still amazed at how someone so small can make such a big mess! I try to keep the house clean but it never stays that way. She's like a little Tornado, she goes through one room and you know it because there is a mess that follows her. She has a new favorite past time. She LOVES playing with our clothes especially daddy's underwear! It's so funny watching her put all of them over her head and walking around. She loves to "help" me with the laundry too.




Also a new thing that has happened this week Rachel wanting to feed herself her yogurt which is breakfast. Before we would sit on the couch and I would feed it to her, now I have to put her in her chair and she feeds it herself with her little spoon. Now I really feel like the baby is gone. Oh well, such is life.

I am thoroughly enjoying watching her grow up and learn more and more everyday. I thank God everyday for blessing me with this little joy. She has brought more life into me than anything else. I would not know what to do if anything were to happen to her. Even if I were to find out that I could not have anymore children I would still be thankful, God has given me the desire of my heart to be a mommy.

Right now I am watching her eat her chocolate chip pancake on this icy cold day and all I can do is smile.


There isn't really anything else to report, just her walking!

An update with Josh and me though, he has become bombarded with work this last little while so it looks like things me be starting to look up. I am so thankful for all the hard work he does to keep us safe and taken care of. I know that is why God decided to bless us. Thank you for your prayers.
