I am not really sure how it happened so quickly, but I am now a mommy to a 1 year old. How is it even possible that an entire year has passed by and I feel like I hardly had time to blink an eye? I have been so blessed watching Leilani grow and mature this past year. So many milestones! First smiles, first coos, first laughs, first teeth, first time rolling over, first time crawling, first time going to the zoo, first time visiting the library, first time swinging in a swing, first Christmas, first time in a swimming pool, first time climbing the stairs, first birthday party... I'm sure there are even more still! How is it even possible to accomplish so much in just one year? What an amazing blessing to have been able to be there and watch all of this happen. Leilani is the biggest joy in my life and I am so excited to continue watching her mature and add more "firsts" to her list. More importantly, I am excited to see her understand and comprehend more and more about Jesus and how much He loves her. I am excited to see her grow in the ways of the Lord. Right now, we're starting with folding her hands during prayer at meal time. It's a start, and though she doesn't quite get it yet, she will and it will be another "first."
"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is his reward." Psalm 127:3
