"I asked the LORD to give me this boy, and he has granted my request.
Now I am giving him to the LORD, and he will belong to the LORD his whole life."
1 Samuel 1:27, 28
This verse is the epitome of how I feel about Kyler....so blessed to have been entrusted with him and a huge desire for him to be a warrior for our Lord! I hope the foundations of this future are already being set in him. I pray that the praise times we have, the Bible story times we have, our nightly prayers, and service to others will continue and grow in him a zeal to share Christ. That is my prayer for this next year of his life and for his whole life.

He is such a joy! I'll add his stats and elephant photo later (need to edit and go to dr. first), but wanted to share 12 of my favorite things about him for his 12 months here.
1. His wonderful, contagious smile! You can't help but grin back when this kid smiles at you -- this includes me and his family and random people at the grocery store.
2. he has one, adorable freckle on his shoulder....love it!
3. a great eater -- week by week different foods, but loves him some food.
4. enjoys reading...we have enough books for sure, but he has his favorites - alot with animal pictures, clifford, and touch and feel books
5. music fan - he listens so intently and sings along during worship at church and
along with the radio; a few of his favorite toys are all music related (plays a song or is a guitar/drum)
6.adventurous - loves to try new things, anything slightly dangerous (stairs, things high up) and scare his mama half to death :)
7. strong willed - do I like this when it has exhibted itself in carseat screaming, nope, but I know it can suit him well in the future and has already in developing new skills
8. loves his mommy -- how could this not be something I love about him...that I am right now the center of his world. :) Makes me gooey inside
9. his talking and jabbering -
i wish i knew what he is saying, but its stinkin cute to listen to
10. his love for anything stuffed (minus turkeys - ha ha).
he goes and squeezes and and kisses all his animals.
11. his sharing -- we worked on this for a while, but if you say share (or at least if I say share) he will give you whatever he is holding. Hoping this continues!
12. how just thinking of him can make me weepy or giddy or joyful! He fills my heart!
this is 3 mo old and still a favorite photo of mine! |
