Gideon - 5 Month

 
M(om): Good morning, my smiley boy! How are you doing now that you are 5 months old?

G(ideon): I am doing great, mom! I just love to see you. That is why I smile so much.

M: I love to see your smiles and hear all the stories you have to tell me. So, what things have you been up to this last month?

G: Well, I have certainly been going more places, we bring Joash to school often and I have gone to a few  craft markets with you. I have even gone swimming a few times.
M: You certainly do seem to like swimming. And I am so thankful that you are so easy going and that you don't seem to mind going all of the places with me. What else have you been up too?

G: Dad let me taste a pear one day. Wow! That was so good. I really didn't want to stop eating it.
M: I know, you were a bit sad when we took it away. I think you will like solid foods when you can start them soon. We have to keep working on your sitting muscles so you can start those in a month or so.

G: That sounds good! I also really like my excersaucer and I have been having fun playing with the toys and watching everyone around me.






M: You do a good job playing and trying to keep up with everyone, but some times, by the end of the day, you are just finished. I hope you have a great day today!

G: Thanks, mom. I hope you do too. Can I have a little snuggle now?

M: Sure you can. I love you buddy!

A Perspective

I have already mentioned my "Word of the Day" screen saver that I have on my laptop that is hooked up to the projector in my room. I am learning that the words go in cycles a bit, so the same word will pop up in several classes during the day. Today's popular word was "entitlement." A fantastic word to share with teenagers who often think they are entitled to a whole lot of stuff. In fact, we as humans often think we are entitled to a whole lot of stuff when really we are fallen people who deserve nothing but death. We so often miss how wonderful and blessed our life really is and we get caught up on the little things. This video sort of puts that in perspective in a rather humorous way. I am by no means promoting this comedian, but if you take what he says to heart, it is so true. We live in an amazing world, created by an amazing God. We really should be happy with the blessing we have been given.

Getting Big...And Strong

Mataya went back in to be weighed earlier this week. While she did not jump back on her growth curve, she did gain over a pound in the last month, so the doctor is not worried at all. She is just going to have a new curve, I guess. In other news, she is getting really strong and can move around. I am not really sure how she does it, but she is never where I leave her when she is laying on the floor. She uses a combination of rolling and scooting. In the picture below, she started out sort of by the red ring that is half under the blue chair. That is a pretty good distance to cover when you can't even crawl.  Thankfully she is pretty slow, so she hasn't gotten into too much trouble yet.

The 49th Mystic by Ted Dekker

In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong. When a procedure meant to restore Rachelle's sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might only be a dream experienced when she falls asleep in that reality.  She is the prophesied one who must find and recover five ancient seals--in both worlds--before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, both worlds will forever be locked in darkness. I am a big Ted Dekker fan, and became a fan when I read the Circle Series. So when I heard Ted was writing more books in the Circle world, I could not wait to go back. And Dekker did not dissappoint. The only thing I don't like about this book is that I have to wait until October to get the second half of the story. Dekker is a master world builder and write interesting a complex characters. And Dekker masterfully weaves truth throu...
