I think I can...

Hayden is a scoot scooter.  He wants soo badly to crawl, and mostly he just shifts his weight back and forth from his feet to knees, to elbows/belly, to all fours, and up to sitting.  He's practically a little break-dancer with some of his little moves.  He is precious to watch.

Caught him in action going for one of his favorite hand-me-down rattles from his big bro.  Attempt #1 a little short....

Attempt #2.... and Success!!

Our little fella surprising me during his 'nap' time by sitting up.

Can't believe his little teeth are already coming in!!

Sweet little fella, I could just eat you up. :-)  I love having you in my life.  I am blessed with so much joy in my life, and you little fella, you are vessel of God's blessing in my life.  My joy is a gift given by God through you.  I'm so grateful- I am seeing this stage through whole new eyes this time around with my second- I'm not mourning the loss of each stage as they pass.  I had such a hard time letting go as James grew and grew... but just being thankful for each day and entering into a few little moments where I can truly recognize my gracious God in the beauty of my baby boy.  To 'slow down the torrent of time' for just a second.  So thankful for this way to embrace the crazy that is my life.  The ordinary, the simple, the beautiful.
