Keeping Warm



We have had a few sad days here in the Clark household. Samuel is officially into some of his 6-9 month clothing. I had a really hard time coming to terms with the fact that he is moved up yet another size. It seems like just yesterday we were dressing him in all his 0-3 months clothes and laughing about how big they were on him. Today he woke up in a 9 month sleeper that even appears to be a little on the shorter side! So sad!

Although I am saddened by how quickly he is growing, I am amazed by my little dude. He is developing into such a great and fun little boy. He is so amazed by new things. He gets pretty excited when he realizes that he has been sitting up for a couple of seconds and smiles, which is quickly followed by either arm waving or kicking which sends him tumbling over. He then laughs and tries to figure out how to get back up.

I am amazed daily with how much joy he brings to my life. I always knew I wanted to have kids and thought I would enjoy being a mom, but now I cannot image my life any other way. I never realized how much joy one little bundle could bring. His smile, which is pretty standard, takes away any fear, anxiety and sadness and fills me with hope, love and a desire to keep going. It's amazing what a toothless grin can do to your heart!
