Learning to walk

     As Christiana is getting closer to the big 1 she is a busy body.  Although she isn't able to walk on her own just yet, Christiana still gets around like she is walking.  Sometimes I fall victim to the whole notion that she should be walking by now (you know when people ask if she's walking and how their baby was walking before they were one), but then I realize that when she is ready she will walk.  Christiana loves knowing and feeling that her parents are right by her side while she's taking her little steps.  When I let her hands go her first reaction is to plop down on the floor to start crawling and every now and then (I think when she is feeling adventurous) she'll stand there for a couple of seconds (literally) then plop down.  :O)  It's okay baby when you are ready daddy & I better watch out!!!

     Last week daddy Teems & I decided to see if she would use her push toy to get around.  MAN she was on the go!! Walking forwards & backwards and when she would get stuck Christiana would plop down and try to move the toy somewhere else. :O) 

  She is also tall enough to reach our bathroom drawers and since she is sooo inquisitive she tries to open them and grab things out of them.  I watch to see what types of items she is going to grab; she grabs the things she sees me use...brush, lotion, her bath stuff.  Tooo cute.  Even when I think she isn't watching me, she is. :O)  Man I love this child.

Matthew 18:10     

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

 

     My momma has been out of the hospital now for almost 2 weeks!! Amen to that!! She is at a rehabilitation center to help her regain her strength and to also help her muscle relearn simple tasks that we all take for granted.  I thank our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ for her healing and the determination that she has for getting better.  I added this little blurb about my momma with Christiana's learning to walk post because she is relearning to walk (again another simple task that we all take for granted).  My mother was in the bed for 2 long months and her muscle mass has totally dwindled.  I am very thankful that she is at a facility where everyone is kind and works her to the core.  Her first two physical & occupational therapy sessions worked her out, however with her God given determination she didn't give up!  That's my momma!!  Right now she has to walk with a walker, but they are teaching her to walk without it.  Keep up the good work momma!

If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant."
