9 months! Say What?!

Hey friends!

First and foremost, how in the heavens is time flying so fast. I was just reading my old blogs and I was like "wow Tania you used to blog WEEKLY!"...now its been 3 months since my last post! Perhaps I have an excuse - my crazy 9 month old whose new obsession is sneaking under my feet to turn of the computer before I press "SAVE"...ahhh..but nope no excuses...here I am again. Lets see how this goes.

So lets gets right into it shall we? We shall...

Agenda: Let's Play Catch Up!

1. Latest Milestones

So in the past few months it seems as though every day this kid learns something new. They say once they hit around 6 months that's when the fun begins and its true! He is crawling, laughing, responding, saying "Mamamama", "Dadadada" and "hey"... I love it. He can crawl between any small space and pull him self up on everything. He knows how to climb the stairs now and get back down WITH his toys in his hands. (I know, I know I shouldn't let him play on the stairs, but I just can't believe he even know how to get up them! - need to get that gate ASAP though.) Anyway I can go on forever, but I will just show you instead...keep reading! ;-)

2. Memoirs on Mommyhood

Part 1 - It has been the ride of my life. Its HARD work, but it is one of the most rewarding jobs I truly believe we can have as women. I love it so than I ever thought I could! This little boy brings me so much joy its pretty ridiculous. I am like silly putty in his hands, and big ball of mushy goodness. Lol But that will soon come to an end soon as those crazy toddler years start! I am putting my foot down! (Yea right - more like my pinky toe down :-p). But I can't help it! Even in the frustrating times like waking up in the middle of the night to nurse (YES I STILL waking up 2-3 times a night), once I get him in my arms I just look down and try so hard to capture that very moment because when he is older (which is not very far away) he will be longing to jump out of my arms instead of being cradled in them. 

Part 2 - Life of a Stay-At-Home Mom

You know this can be a single post in and of itself but I will keep it short for now. Let me just say the fact that I am a "stay-at-home mom" is such a testimony in my life. I never would have thought that would be my path. Just 5 years ago I was single, getting ready to graduate college and looking to land a big time corporate job - and marriage and children was NOT a part of my 5 year plan. But oh friends, how the Lord has done such a re-shifting and softening of my heart! Being able to be here and raise my son, creating a lasting bong, and shepherding his little heart is a blessing beyond belief! I am really starting to be so grateful for where the Lord has me in this season. (More on this some other time)

3. Video Diary

Ok enough talking! So you may or may not know but my lovely hubby has created a YouTube channel for MrElijahPaul. We just wanted to have a way to share all of his little milestones with our family and close friends since we are all the way out here in Texas. But feel free to take a peek if you like. Hopefully it gives you a small glimpse of our love for Elijah, and why he brings us so much joy. Here a few of my favorites from his channel.
