My little cubby is 10 months old today. I can't believe it and I also can't believe how much we are all so in love with him. He has won our hearts over and we just can't get enough of him. I was holding him and rocking him last night...and as his body molded perfectly into mine, I began to thank the Lord for this precious miracle baby of mine. I then began to pray over him...for many things, but most importantly that he would be in love with Jesus. In the past couple of weeks, I have been drawn to this chapter in the book of Psalms
Psalm 127
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
How true this is. Blessed is Esteban and myself for the children we have. May we allow the Lord to build our house...and may my laboring not be in vain.
Some fun stuff about my Sam Sam:
*He is a smiley little thing. His smile easily melts my heart in an instant
*He thinks Peppy is a comedian...even if she's not speaking, she's hilarious to him.
*She's his favorite, i do believe
*He started crawling this past month. So far, it's been fun. I love seeing his chubby legs going across the floor.
*Peppy loves to pick him up and carry him around...he loves it too, cause once again, she's his fav.
*He loves to eat finger foods. Loves it. Loves it....
*He says mama, dada, we swear he said night night last night, nana, kinda hi, and he will mimic all kinds of sounds we make. He does more and all done in sign language.
*He can also be an angry eater....grunting and yelling when he wants more. He is doing much better with doing the more sign instead of his caveman like actions.
*When he gets excited, which can be quite often, he rolls his ankles and wrists in circles. Just thinking about it makes me giggle.
*He adores the kitty. and actually kinda says kitty.
*He has 8 teeth and in the process of getting his 9th.
*He will give high five and clap
*He loves his blankie...and always sucks his 2 fingers when he has it.
*Lots of people think he looks just like his sister. I think I agree.
*He really enjoys playing with balls...and now that he crawls, he can chase after them.
*He likes chasing after sissy while I'm carrying him.
*He enjoys our dance parties, with our jammies, in our family room...he mainly laughs at us. I mourn the day where the giggling will turn into rolling of the eyes
*He starts jumping in my arms when i approach the office door...for he knows his daddy is close!
*He's going to be a big brother. What? Yes. Seeing how much our lil Sammy adds to our family, we are delighted to add another bundle of joy to the mix.
All I can say is, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus! You are so good to me!
Psalm 128
1
Blessed is every one who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.
2 When you eat the labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.
5 The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!
