Mother's Day & Baby Dedication...

Mother's Day 2012...every year on Mother's Day I always call my mom and tell her that I am so lucky to have her as a mom. Not only is she my mom but my best friend, she is the perfect balance of both. She usually responds with "No Honey, I AM the lucky one who gets to be your Mom." That never really resonated with me until now. I'm the lucky one who gets to be Witt's mom! I have NEVER done anything in my life that has made me more proud or more in love. Motherhood is hands down the best gift  I have ever been given! Thank you to my amazing husband who is also the best father and to my son, Ian Withington, for making me feel like a queen, everyday! Thank you Witt, love Mommy!

To top off Mother's Day (as if it needed anything else), we had the privilege of participating in our church's baby/parent dedication. The pastor prayed for each child individually and for the parents. Parenting is hard and prayers are always appreciated. We feel very blessed that God has entrusted us with this little life.
Witt, we promise that we will do everything, with God's help to always love, honor and protect you, bringing you up in a Godly home with Christ as the center! This is our mission...

8 Months....

Are we really here...posting about 8 months?
SO much has happened in such a short amount of time. After church a few weeks ago we headed to lunch. Neither of us felt like dealing with the huge, bulky, heavy carseat so we opted to try a high chair. Witt loved it! He wanted to grab, touch and play with whatever he could possibly reach. I have never met a child that moves so much but doesn't go anywhere!


He loves to pull himself up when we grab his hands. He is starting to look at his crib and I'm sure thinking, "There has to be a way out?"
We have enjoyed some great photographic moments! A major milestone for 9 months (that's right we are a head of the curve) is clapping...he does this all the time and laughs while doing it! It is quite possibly the cutest thing, (I say that about everything).
Little man is growing fast and I am loving all the amazing things that he is doing but I do wish time would  slow down just a little.
Here are the monthly onseie photos and a highchair one thrown in. There will be an additional blog post soon about last weeks Baby Dedication at church, don't hold your breath but look for it!

Until next time.
