Emme will be five months old tomorrow! As cliche as it sounds...I cannot belive it. She has changed so much. I still vividly remember the day she was born. How can she be so big already? I can barely remember life without her. She is such a natural part of who we are as a family. I look forward to seeing her personality unfold over the years. Will she let Rory boss her around? Will be she be quiet or loud? Will she prefer reading books over watching t.v.? Will she have an amazing singing voice, or incredible balance? Will she walk/talk early? Will she laugh at her own jokes? What will she fill her time with? Who will she be?
I love her and want the best for her life. I pray she grasps what it means to have a daily relationship with Christ. I pray she is happy with who she is created to be. I pray she loves others. I pray she has the confidence to make her own decisions. I pray she feels safe enough in our home to ask any questions she has, and have really tough conversations with us. I pray she finds a boy who respects her. If along the way she wastes time with one who doesn't, I pray she quickly learns that she's worth more and has the courage to tell him goodbye. My prayers for her go on...discovers her talents, pursues her interests, has passions, dreams big, follows dreams, takes time to really learn, listens, fights ignorance, gives grace.
But for now I'll enjoy my five month old baby, cutting her second tooth and grinning with her entire face.
