more responsible...

so, I've decided to quite possibly do more than one blog in 2008. This came after the decision to generally be more responsible. I want to actually finish things I start. I hate that about myself...that I have the tendency to give up before I've finished. I think the fact that I now have a son to take care of every hour of every day pretty much, by default, makes me somewhat responsible. At first I was completely overwhelmed with the whole idea of being responsible for another life. Then I actually had the little life in this world and I just did it! There really is no learning to be responsible for those snuggly little babies before they come, you just learn as you go. Thank goodness the Lord has blessed me with some amount of common sense.

Grey is now 11 months old. That means he has been in this world almost a whole year! I cannot believe how quickly it has gone. I have been putting some pictures together for his first birthday and I cannot believe how small he was! I think because I am with him everyday I don't realize how much he grows until I look at pictures. He is the greatest joy and I do not have the words to express my thankfulness for his precious life.

I remember this moment exactly. I couldn't believe Grey was here!

And now we are crawling through his tunnel and playing in his tent!

and stuffing his face with apples while i'm yelling "YOU HAVE TO CHEW OR YOU ARE GOING TO CHOKE!" therefore, I have learned to give him one piece of grilled cheese, apple, bagel, etc. at a time.

Sleeping like a baby!

I'll stop showing you the cutest baby on earth. BUT I will have more pics in a few days! Thanks for joining my new responsibility!
