I have never been very good at keeping a journal. I wish I were, but I am not. I have started this blog to record the adorable things that Hannah does. If I don't write it down somehow I am afraid that I will forget.
7 months ago I was given a beautiful gift. On September 27 Hannah Elizabeth was born. She came charging into this world at exactly 4:30 pm. And I do mean charging! I hardly had to push at all! Since then, we have laughed (a lot), cried (mostly from sleep deprivation), and thanked God for what a beautiful treasure He has entrusted us to care for and raise.
These 7th months have flown by- I can hardly believe that she is growing so fast! In just the past couple of weeks she has made some great strides and conquered some major milestones. She went from doing what Jonathan and I termed as the "worm" (her initial method of movement) to sitting by herself, actually crawling, pulling herself up to stand and saying "dada" all in one week! This all happened during Master's week, so what a blessing it is that Jonathan got to witness every one of these things first hand.
The most memorable moment from this Master's week occurred Sunday afternoon at my parents' house. We were sitting on the sofa watching the Masters, Hannah with me. Jonathan got up to get a snack and when he came back she reached her arms up to him and said very clearly: Dada!! His heart just melted and he admitted that in that moment on he was wrapped around her little finger.
Keep at it! You'll be glad (and your families as well) you've used a public forum to record your child's life.
ReplyDeleteAwesome I'm totally going to keep track of your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. Hannah Elizabeth is such wonderful addition to our family. I love being her grandmother.
ReplyDeleteWhile Hannah is 'wrapped around 'Jonathans little finger', a condition that does not end, all three of you will experience many joys together. The bond between father and daughter is a unique love that mothers can happily observe.
