7 Months Old!!

Another month has passed, and my baby has turned 7 months old! How would I describe Landon?  Full of Life!  He is so happy and social, not wanting to miss out on anything--turning his head at the slightest noise to see what is going on--and offering a smile to anyone who will entertain it.

Landon loves being outside, especially when Josie, our dog, is around.  Tom the cat does not seem to be so fond of Landon, although Landon seems to grin when he sees the cat.  Landon seems to really love music, something that was so much apart of Eric and my life, and I have found that it calms Landon down if he is crying.  Eating is never a problem for Landon, as he especially loves avocados, sweet potatoes and spinach, and also can be found chewing on his toes at times! In the bathtub, he loves to stick his toes in his mouth, and then splash his toes down all the way from his chin to the water since he seems to have discovered that that makes the biggest splash.  I think he might be like his daddy in this aspect of loving the water!  Hearing Landon's voice and giggles are such a delight to me, and bring me such joy!

What would I do without my little ray of sunshine? I do not know!  A few days ago, I was sitting on the floor-- in tears--as the grief was just hitting me so hard at that moment.  I looked over at Landon sitting up so proudly, and he was just giggling! He truly brought a smile to my face.  It was a special gift from God I know.  He knew I needed my little boy to bring me joy amidst the sorrow.

Psalm 30:11...I thank you Lord for "turning my mourning into dancing,...and clothing me with joy."
