days turn into months...


It seems like yesterday our little Annie Joy looked like this! Just a few days later..... (umm - I mean 10 months later) I am still in shock at how she has grown and how much joy she has added to our lives. I am learning how to multi-task and juggle responsibilities and my husband is learning how to be more patient. Every stage so far has been more precious than the last. As she calls me mommy and leans in to get a kiss, my heart melts. She is learning new words and crawling so fast. She is eating so many new foods now that she has more teeth. Each day is an adventure.
A highlight of the summer is spending time with her cousins. Wyatt told me yesterday that Annie is perfect. He could not have asked for a better cousin. They love being with her and she watches all they do - trying to take it all in. Life will not be the same when they go back to Indonesia. We will treasure the time we can be together and try to store up the hugs and kisses to get us thru.
I love being a mom. Thanks, Annie Joy! You are such a blessing.
