Today Chris' sister Jessica came to town from Columbia. We spent most of the day hanging out with her. It blesses my heart to watch Bryant make those around him smile. Isn't it amazing how babies do that? Their joy is infectious and when it is your child who's joy is spreading it makes you even happier.
For supper we went to eat at Firehouse Subs. It is one of my new favorite restaurants. While watching Bryant smile at his sweet cousin Lindsey I caught a glimpse of another bottom tooth. After further investigation not only was there one tooth, but two more teeth. So now Bryant has 4 teeth pushing their way through and they are all on the bottom. Over the past few months it seems that everyday Bryant is showing me something new. I feel almost desperate to capture my thoughts so that I won't forget them. So that I won't forget how I feel, how he looks, and what he's doing. I was sharing with my friend Merissa how I've never been so aware that each moment with him will never pass again. I never want to look back and think I wish I would have taken more time to cherish each little milestone and rejoice that God loves to bless me with them.
Everyday I am a little more amazed at this whole thing of being Mom. Oh my, how it has changed me. I find myself wondering what every parent wonders, "What did I do before I had a child?" Being a mom has taken all that is in me and changed it into something different, something, I think is better. All that I was before has brought me here to this place, this season. And in this season I see all that I was before being changed by such a small little being. In one moment Bryant became apart of my journey to being more like the person God created me to be. Along the way there have been some tough lessons....and I am sure that there will be more. But, I am well aware that each of them, even the daily struggles, are meant for my good. In the end, it will be a blessing to have been down this road. Glad your all along for the ride. I love you!
