"Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you"  Psalm 128:8

This little guy is a blessing!

Blessed: enjoying the bliss of heaven;

 characterized by happiness and good fortune; highly favored

I'd say that 5 months ago the definition of blessed came true to my life.

Do I sleep a little less (or a lot less)? Yes.

Do I find time to get all my chores done in the day? No.

Does a trip to the store take me 3x as long? Yes.

Does any of that seem important at all when I see Kyler's sweet smile every morning and snuggle him close at night? NOT A BIT!!!!

laughing and giggling at funny sounds and songs;
becoming ticklish
STANDING! MOVING! KICKING! This kid won't be still! :)
Rolls over both ways (at night he goes from one side of the crib to the other)
can hold up arms and head (from belly) for unlimited amts of time
loves to make noises/sing
knows his name and will turn when he hears it
turns towards 'interesting' sounds (this isn't always my voice - sad day)
smiles all the time and smiles back
wiggle and squirm to reach a toy
reach for, grasp, and put toys into mouth (well not just toys -- anything he can reach!)

Mommy's Favorites:

Kyler still buries his face in my neck or arm when falling asleep! PRECIOUS!

Listening to his sweet face sing along with our praise CD.

Watching his face light up when he sees people -- makes me so glad that he is able to bless others with something so simple, yet meaningful to them.

Seeing him giggle and laugh at random things each day.

my all time favorite -- his sweet smile every morning when I go to get him!!!

Watching him talk with/try to grab/stare at Khalid when we talk to him each day. I know that it makes Khalid's day everytime he gets a smile or coo! :)
