FINALLY! Lizzy's first tooth has broken the skin! Poor little thing has had the hardest time teething. As soon as the tooth comes up enough to get a picture we will post one!
I know I am biased but I think she is getting cuter every day! Her little personality is developing and she gives the biggest smiles- her whole face just lights up! She wants to crawl so badly- she gets up on her knees and rocks but doesn't get anywhere just yet. I know it is coming though! Video to come when that happens!

Seven Months Old Today
Dear Lizzy,
Happy Seven Month birthday today! Where has all of the time gone? I loved you the minute I first saw you, but I never realized that my love for you would grow each day. Sometimes I feel like my heart could just burst- you bring such happiness and joy to Daddy and me.
We love your sweet smiles that you give so freely and your precious laugh (even if you make us work really hard to get one!)
What a blessing you are to us. As I lay you in your bed every night I thank God for you. Your daddy and I are so excited to see what the next seven months bring us!
Love, Mommy
A few recent pictures below! The one in the blue dress is from today. You can't see it well in the picture but her dress has smocked yellow labs on it!
One more pic... can't resist! Check out her bib she was wearing waiting for her Aunt Lizzy to come over!

Heavy Heart
Tonight I write with a heavy heart. My sweet friend Hannah's baby now has meningitis. They did a spinal tap earlier today and discovered the infection is in his brain. The good news is that they were able to get the Picc line in which will get him the antibiotics that he needs.
I am so thankful that Hannah is one of the strongest Christians I know. If anyone can handle this, it's definitely her. I know that the Lord promises us that He will never give us more than we can bear but sometimes I can't help but wonder- "why Lord?"
I so took for granted when I was pregnant that Lizzy would be born a healthy, happy baby. How blessed I was that I was right. It never really crossed my mind that something could be wrong with her or that she would be born sick.
It hits so close to home every time I look at Lizzy, I think about precious baby Cab (Hannah's son). I just can't get them off my mind. I pray with my whole being that the Lord would completely heal Cab, and that he wouldn't have any lasting implications. I pray for Hannah and Charles as they go through this. I pray for restful sleep for them tonight; that they would awake tomorrow renewed and energized and that tomorrow would be bring news of healing and gaining of strength. Thank you for praying this with me.

Prayers Needed
Hi Family and Friends-
I am writing to ask for your prayers this morning for a good friend of mine from Bible study. Hannah had her first child on Friday morning. It's a precious baby boy. However, he has a very serious bacterial infection and needs immediate prayers for healing. Fortunately, the doctors have been able to determine what is wrong with him but they are having trouble getting the antibiotics to him effectively. It is critical that he get this medicine.
Please pray for baby Cab. Pray for perfect healing of his little body. Pray for the doctors/nurses to have wisdom and effectiveness. Also pray for Hannah and her husband Charles as they go through this.

Reality Check
Today Lizzy and I went out to get her some bigger sized diapers. I couldn't believe when I got home and opened them up how big they are! They are the right size but they are size THREE!
At the beginning of this summer we were out in a restaurant with our good friends Will and Valerie and our precious God daughter, Hallie. I went to change Lizzy and realized I was out of diapers. Valerie gave me one of Hallie's size three diapers. At the time it was HUGE on Lizzy, and I could have almost wrapped her twice in it.
All of a sudden, she's wearing a size three. Where did the time go? It scares me that it goes so fast because I think, "Did I pay enough attention? Did I enjoy all those moments?".
I love her so much, I want to remember every little detail and moment with her. I don't want to be so caught up in our day-to-day routines that I miss the bigger picture.
What a precious gift from God each moment is with her.
