Popsicle Picnic on Jane's 6th Month!
Today was the 1/2 way mark to a year for our little lady. She is growing so quickly and we just adore her. I was talking to my mom and she said she would bake 1/2 a cake on our very first half birthday...I never knew. But we are going to start that tradition! Today was just way too hot though so we made homemade popsicles instead (but sunday we'll go out with a bang and do 1/2 a cake, just bake it at night!). They turned our delicious: raspberry lemonade blueberry. My mom had gifted me a popsicle maker last year on my birthday and we hadn't used it yet, so we finally broke it out.
Jane is a sweet, content, smart, observant, fun, an eater, loves to be outside, sucks on just about everything, loves to make noise, babbles to fall asleep, smiles lots, loves bath time, has eaten quite an array of foods already (banana and strawberry being her favorite), laughs, rolls over like a pro, walks like a champ (holding our fingers of course), is very curious, loves to watch dad fix things, hangs out with mom all day long, is beautiful and just adorable.
We feel so blessed to have this little princess in our lives. This morning, as I called her our little princess James smiled, and then I said to Jane, "You are a Princess for a King sent you to us!" Which is so true. There is a Father in Heaven who has sent our little angel to us. He watches over His children and is a King. He loves us so very much! Every night before Jane goes to sleep I sing (LOTS) of songs to her. Among them is the sweet Hymn, "I am a Child of God." I love the words to this song. It has always been a favorite of mine. I had the Primary Children sing it to me before I left on my mission! The words are simple and powerful. And I believe in them completely. Life is important. WE are important. And I hope my little Jane knows that all her life! That she's important!
I am a child of God,
And He has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand His words
Before it grows too late.
I am a child of God.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do His will
I'll live with Him once more.
I am a child of God.
His promises are sure;
Celestial glory shall be mine
If I can but endure
Chorus:
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday.
