9 months

Abby is nine months old today. We love her so much. I love seeing how happy she is everyday. She is so curious and loves to be with us. She loves to hear Sydney and Wynn in the morning and rushes out into the hallway to see them. She is trying to talk and LOVES the cat. She can say cat now. Everyday when I sing to her and she grabs my face and hums along, I feel so happy to be her mom and get to spend time with her. She is so precious, I wish I could keep her small forever! She is already standing on her own and cruising all over. As excited as I am for her to be able to play and run around with Sydney and Wynn, I think she 'll be walking in no time and I'll miss my squishy baby girl.

Sharing Time

I've been in charge of teaching sharing time for the last few weeks. and it has been a really fun experience for me. Children are so creative in their answers and so full of energy. It's funny how when it comes to spiritual things, children sometimes say the most profound things. This month's theme has been about Jesus being our Savior and each lesson has tried to help the children understand what Christ's atonement means to them personally. I have learned through the lessons even more that I have to rely on the Savior and can't be with my family forever without his sacrifice.While visiting teaching today I read a quote by Elder Christofferson that states that Christ is the only person to ever live so that should increase our faith in him. I realized that it is true. WE have no excuse to not have faith in Christ because he has never done anything to let us down, or anyone else down. I am so grateful for these little opportunities I have to learn more about Savior and understand more about his plan for me on earth. I look forward to keeping on teaching the children and learning from the simple lessons Heavenly Father has provided for us to teach them.

Gymnastics

Wynn started gymnastics this last month.  It has been so good for him to get some energy out and learn some new skills.  He was feeling left out since Sydney has dance and swim lessons.  He is really good at the balance beam and can do somersaults all by himself now.  It is fun to see him get stronger as they help him on the bars too! I am grateful we found a class here and that he has so much fun. 

Vegetables

He eats better than Andy and me. This is his second helping.
