Sarah Jo started crawling late Thursday night!
I cannot believe that the teeny tiny baby we brought home from the hospital (what seems like yesterday) is now a crawler! I told Micheal over the weekend that we are now in a whole new world! It is so funny to be in the bathroom drying my hair and peek around the corner and see her coming down the hall! And she melts both mine and her daddy's hearts when she crawls to us. It is just so sweet to see her stop playing and decide to come love on us... pure bliss!
She has already started trying to pull up on anything and everything which sadly has led to a few more bumps and bruises. I hate when she hurts herself. It makes me want to put a helmet on her and bubble wrap everything. (Don't worry... I won't. I just want to).
She has also been very attached to Micheal and I. Which is just so sweet but so sad at the same time. I love knowing she finds comfort in our presence but I hate for her little heart to be scared when she can't find us. I am trying to be more intentional about leaving her with people more often to help her with this but its hard on both of us. This Sunday after Praise and Worship and Communion I took her back to the nursery. I usually stay in there and help the nursery volunteer because a) It's always nice to have an extra set of hands back there and b) I don't want to leave her yet. But this week when I went back there was already 2 youth kids and an extra adult back there so they obviously did not need any more help. So I decided to take a deep breath and leave. It was only for about 20-30 minutes and I shockingly did pretty well. I enjoyed the sermon and only checked the time like 4 times haha! At the very end of service one of the youth kids came and got me and told me Sarah wouldn't stop crying. Poor Baby. But all in all I think our first nursery experience went pretty well. :-)
Last night Micheal and I had the men's and women's Christmas Parties. It was a fun time and great to get to know more of the women in our church. We had a Holy Spirit Led gift exchange. The idea was for each person to bring a $10 gift and let the Holy Spirit lead you while shopping. Then attach a scripture to the gift and bring it to the party. Then we all drew numbers and exchanged gifts. My gift was a Venus Razor Shaving Kit with body wash, a bar of soap, tooth brush, toothpaste and an ornament. I was so excited because everything except for the ornament were things I needed to go get. And with the holidays its always nice to have a little extra to spend on Christmas. It was a kiss on the cheek from the Holy Spirit for sure. Also, it was funny because Micheal and I had been talking about razors for a week now! He used mine AND his all up and we kept forgetting to buy some more. God is so good and he cares about the little things. :-) I think he enjoyed watching Micheal and I give each other a hard time about razors and enjoys watching us have fun in our marriage. And when I opened up the bag and saw the razors I know He was smiling and saying "I love You Amanda!" :-)
Christmas is Coming! YAY!
