Gingerbread Man

So, Hannah Grace made a gingerbread man at school the other day. When we got home, she insisted that he come and sleep with her. So, obviously I didn't put up a fight and let her. I go to get her from her nap and she is very upset and saying, "oh no Mommy, my gingerbread man's eyes and buttons are missing". So, I ask Hannah Grace where she put them and she says my tummy. I then see the blue all over her lips from the fruit loop buttons! So, my child ate her craft and this is definitely something I want to remember forever!! Hilarious :)

Knox's Dedication

We had Knox's dedication on September 11 and it was a very special day. It is such a huge responsibility for Clint and I to raise our children in the way the Lord desires. To have our church, friends and families to support and encourage us along the way is huge, and really would be impossible without them. We are asked to choose a verse that we desire to pray over Knox and we chose 1 Kings 2:2-3. Such a perfect description of the kind of man we pray that Knox will be. We love this little guy so much and pray that he will come to know the Lord at a very young age and love the Lord more than anything else.

"Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the LORD your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn." 1 Kings 2:2-3

1st Alabama Game

We took Hannah Grace to her first Alabama game a few weeks ago. Our sweet friends, The Perkins, came with us to the game. Karli was my roommate in college and she has a little girl, Isabella, who is Hannah Grace's age. We love hanging out with Karli and Ryan and the girls have a blast together! We took the girls to the quad to play on the inflatables, to see big Al, up to the A-Club, watched the band and went to the Alpha Chi house. It was a long, fun day and by the time the game started at 6:00, Hannah Grace was exhausted! Her favorite part was the band (I was secretly hoping it would be the cheerleaders, but I don't think she even noticed them!). She got so excited when we saw the band on the quad and started calling out all her favorite instruments :) It was a fun day and exciting to take Hannah Grace where her Mommy and Daddy met!

Addie

My sweet niece, Addie, was born yesterday weighing 9 lbs 6 ounces and 20 inches long. She is precious and just so sweet! We are all so excited for Will and Kendall and I look forward to watching Addie grow up :) Hannah Grace is really excited to have a girl cousin and has talked about Addie all day long! Last night Addie had to be admitted into the NICU for breathing problems. So, please pray for her and for Will and Kendall.

4 Months

I am way behind on blogging and have so many posts to catch up on! But, for now, I wanted to remember all the sweet little things Knox is doing. He is such a little joy and just a super sweet baby. Our little guy continues to grow and at his 4 month checkup was 20lbs 3 oz and 27 1/2 inches long. The Ped said this was the average size of an 8-9 month old. Crazy! He now rolls over both ways and is starting to even scoot a little on his tummy. What?! This is not suppose to happen yet! Hannah Grace didn't crawl until 9 months, but I think that Knox will be much earlier. He loves to watch his sister and will bust out into full laughter at her all the time. We caught it on video, so I will have to post that soon. He still hates the car and still likes to sleep on his tummy. I think he is struggling with reflux, so that is a little frustrating. We dealt with this with HG and I was hoping not to have to deal with it again. He sometimes refuses to eat, but I am trying not to let it stress me out, even though it does! The photos below show how active he is. I just thought the progression was cute :) More posts to come of the his dedication, the beach, Hannah Grace's first football game and videos.

Mommy's Bible

Hannah Grace's book of choice right now is Mommy's Bible. Every morning she asks for it when we are having breakfast and she prefers it over any other book. I pray her love for the Bible continues and grows even more :)
