Perspective

Why do we always focus on the bad instead of the GREAT amount of good that is all around us? Today I noticed Eli rocking back and forth and immediately I wondered about autism. Unknown to me this is also a sign of crawling. As parents you never want to think that something might be wrong with your child. But yet your mind still wonders...

I started pulling out Eli's 9 month clothes today and it made me so sad to know that he is becoming such a little man. But at the same time I am so proud of him! Life is good!

Love

While I was pregnant with Eli I wondered how I could love him more than my husband, which my mom assured me I would. The day I held him in my arms I realized how. He captured my heart the first time he smiled at me and every time thereafter. I have pledged never to ever let anyone hurt him, I will try my hardest to protect him. He is doing so much now. Sitting trying to crawl, eating his solids perfectly. I told Craig that he has ruined me because I never think anyone else's child is cute anymore. No one can compare to my Eli.
