A Day with Fam

This weekend was filled with lots of baby talk, pizza, lounging, and laziness. The mom and sister came to spend the day with us on Saturday and of course our little man was the center of attention. The oooohs and aaaahs and sweet baby screeches bounced off the walls that day. This little boy is in for it with all these girls! Cheek pinches, kisses, and hugs all around!

Awarded

About a week or so ago, I was delighted to find that Passenger Seat Perspectives had chosen Baby Baker Love for the Liebster Blog Award! Being a new blogger I'm not in on all the "bloggy" terms yet, but she explained it as follows:

Liebster is a German word meaning "dearest" or "favorite" and the award is for up and coming blogs with fewer than 200 followers.


Thank you so much for thinking of my little blog! I am encouraged that others enjoy following the journey of this new mommy.

According to the rules, I am to now pass this award on to five other bloggers with less than 200 followers.  I really enjoy these blogs and know you will too! And the Liebster goes to:

A Faithfulness Told
This Little Momma
My Kind of Crazy
Dixie's Cup
The Ellie Life

a rough night...

So...last night was pretty rough.

I accidentally cut my baby boy's finger while trying to clip his nails.

It was seriously one of the saddest, most traumatic things ever and I boo-hoo-ed like a crazy person. I most likely cried more than he did.

I always knew he would get hurt, fall, scrape a knee, break a bone and maybe get hurt by someone else...but not by me...

Hearing the cries that I caused was heart-wrenching. It felt as if a part of me was in pain, hurting, bleeding. It hurt to see him hurt.

...and I spent the rest of the night holding him, loving him and telling him how sorry I was.

I know this life is full of trials and pain and it is going to be difficult to watch him hurt. I only hope that he finds comfort in our Father above to help him face this world.

 Lord, help me trust You with his life.

Never Grow Up

I've been singing this to baby boy every night. Do you think if I sing it enough times it will come true? I hope so...

"The cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow, for babies grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep. I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep."-Ruth Hulbert Hamilton
 It's rainy tonight. We plan on staying in and snuggling up. Hope you have a great weekend :)
