Grace new every morning!!

This week Wilson and I have gone on some great walks with my friend Monica.  We have been walking around my neighborhood, and I have to tell you we have a torturous hill but it's good for the legs! It has been fun to walk and feel God's Grace every morning, it has been so beautiful too.  Wilson loves it, Monica brings her dog Tank (He is 3 pounds!) and he looks over and watches him the whole time.  

Wilson is also getting so big, we had to move his jumperoo up a stage and moved to stage 2 food, and he loves it.  I have only given him a banana or two but that is the only adult food so far.  I know we are creating a monster bc he already wants my water bottle and anything he sees me eating.  He is almost sitting up by himself and when I look at the monitor in the middle of the night he as crawled to the completely other side and by the morning he is back where I put him.  He loves all the room in there and he sleeps on the whole thing!

Here are a few pics of my baby boy!!

He was laughing at G aunt Tammy!
Playing hard!
Loving his bananas!

REVIVAL WEEK!

This week was revival and it was AMAZING!  I haven't been to a revival since I was a teenager, it was so refreshing.  I love hearing GOD's WORD and Message spoken so clearly and blatantly.  There were also 5 people saved that I know of!!! WOW was it emotional to see someone come to CHRIST and realize for the first time THEY HAVE A SAVIOR.  I think sometimes being a preacher's kid I can take salvation or granted or just lessen the significance of it because I have always grown up in the church but GOD has shown me this week how important HIS GRACE is to us everyday and that everyday I HAVE AND NEED A SAVIOR!  Lately I have been so insecure about NOT HAVING IT ALL TOGETHER and totally NOT being a supermom but I believe the insecurity's I feel in my heart are left there for GOD to fill!!!  I pray that I can really seek out GOD's WILL not just say it but actually pursue it wholeheartedly.  I encourage everyone to read their Bible today and fill your life with substance and encouragement = and even conviction.  And remember GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL!

Wilson 4-6 months

WOW has he grown! -  he gained four pounds in two months!! My big 15 lbs boy is growing fast and literally changes daily.  His personality is starting to shine through and he amazes me everyday.  He is a great mixture so far of Ry and I-  He is laid back and content wherever and whatever he is doing- kinda of like me but loves to be entertained and play like Ry.  He has this sweet spirit about him- LOVES to rub your arm and hug on you.  And when he looks into your eyes and grabs your face it melts my heart.  

Here are some highlights from the last few months:

He can roll over both ways!

Sleep on his back ( most of you know what that did to momma! )

He is teething now ( I know that could last for a while )

Loves his jumparoo and plays so hard in it- He jumps side to side like a boxer!

The only time he is fussy is when food is gone! haha

Sleeping great at night

Talks so much more and loves to laugh ( especially at Lillie )

Reaches out for cell phone, remote, and of course his daddy!

He can almost sit up on his own but still wobbles from side to side

He is a people/kid watcher! 

He loves to snuggle and rub you!

He scratches the sheets when he goes to sleep! I can hear it in the monitor.

He loves to be outside!

Love you guys!! Thanks for loving on Wilson!

NEW WAY OF BLOGGING!!

Ok guys, I know I know it has been forever since I have updated this thing.  I was inspired last night by someone else's blog so I am going to change a little bit of how I do things on here. Of course I will continue on little Wilson's growth and changes but will also include some things GOD is doing in our lives! Ryan and I have been truly blessed and I thought it would be nice to share them and also start some blog postings for mommy's!!!!  I love reading other mommy blogs - you really get some great advice!  So look frequently I plan to update every other day/weekly!!!!  Love ya'll

Fun in the sun!

We had an amazing vacation.  Wilson LOVED the beach and the water.  He is getting so big, I seriously think he grew 5 inches this week.  We enjoyed spending time with everyone and loved the time we had with our nephews.  Carter was so much fun! I wished we lived closer to them!  Grammy and Pops watched the kids one night and let us go out which was wonderful...she also watched them during the day some so I could be a beach bum.  I even read a whole book.  Thanks Grammy.  God is so good and we are so blessed to have a wonderful family. We also loved spending quality time with Gpa and Gma!  It felt great to unwind for a week.

Wilson also rolled over from his back to his belly! It's very exciting but I am a little nervous now because he wants to do it while he sleeps.  We had to move him into his crib (in his own room) so he would have more room for when he wants to roll over.  Mommy wasnt quite sure how she felt about this, I laid in his floor for a while to keep checking on him and then slept with the monitor.  I know he will be changing so much from here on and I need some prayers while I adjust haha.  Love you guys! Pictures coming soon!

Beauty!

Here are some beautiful sunflowers Ryan picked out of our garden.  Our garden is so amazing!

Our beautiful Garden

Last night Ry took me and Wils out to eat Mexican and then we went to the garden to capture the most recent progress.  It looks great and so far we have enjoyed onions and peppers and they have been AWESOME.  The sunflowers are starting to bloom, I am so proud of him for making such a beautiful garden.  ENJOY!

He tore a leaf off and tried to eat it.

He loves his daddy so much!
