Breanne…..

is 7 months and 9 days old today, and wow she is getting so big. I finally found and bought the necessary cord to connect our video camera up to my computer so I can store the files on a dvd, and as I watched the first 2 months of video I was amazed at how huge she is compared to just 4-5 months ago. It’s scary knowing she’s growing up and there’s nothing I can do about it. But it’s also so amazing, even before she was born, at 5 weeks old, at the size of, I think,  a seed, her heart was already beating (that’s a fact, look it up).

As many times as I’ve listed the bad habits I’ve gotta break before she gets too old, I have not quit doing them, and I think she’s a lot more perceptive to what Ashley and I do than we realize. It’s also no help that she’s ahead on her developmental skills than average babies. Thank you God!!! We took her to the doctor’s yesterday and she is a wonderful 16.4 pounds, healthy, smart, table paper destroying little baby. The doctor walked in and I just informed her that the shredded and balled up paper on the table was there when we walked in, and so were the other 2 sheets in the trash…….

She had shots yesterday and lately her cries have been much more emotional, sounding upset, angry, ANGRY!! Well, she’s always had one that when she is REALLY upset or like when she’s gotten shots before, she has a certain cry that starts normal but it quickly goes subsonic and you can no longer hear her but she continues to fade a deep shade of red with mouth wide open and tears filling her eyes.

Well lately when she really cries for help (she fell on the tile yesterday morning resulting in a compact version of this cry) I’ve found the urge to immediately find someone and rip their head off for her sake, and so I can blame someone for her pain. I mean, before I even know what’s going on or where she is as soon as I hear that sound I have to force myself to get away from the walls as to not put an arm through them. Needless to say, I don’t like my little girl crying…

But I realize NOW THAT SHES CRAWLING that these will be much more common around our house, she’s growing and growing and growing.

Life is rolling on for Her for me for the church…..  you know, what other beautiful, little things are we missing out on daily as EVERYTHING around us just keeps rolling on?
