What We've Learned

I have been wanting to write this post for weeks, but time just seems to slip away. There are dishes that need done, laundry that needs folded and floors that need scrubbed (you know how it is.) But, Onyx is tucked snug in bed and I'm not going to delay this post for another moment!
God sends us children to teach us many things, but mostly how to love. He sends us our own little ones so that we can better understand His love for us. Onyx has sure filled my heart with love. His every grin, grunt and giggle just sends my heart overflowing. He really is a sweet little guy.
As Onyx has been teaching me more about God's love for His children, Onyx has also been learning so much himself. He is so fascinated with the world and watches everything with such awe until he is so tired he just can't stand it. He has become quite the little chatter box. If you talk to him he will coo and laugh back. Sometimes while he is helping me with chores it sounds as if he is singing. Slowly he is gaining more and more control of his body. He tries so hard to grab toys, hair, ect with his cute little hands. He also sucks on everything, especially his lips and hands. His spit has become rather entertaining and he will gargle it and blow bubbles with it all day long. Onyx has not quite mastered rolling completely over but he goes from his back to his side in a hurry and I have to be careful now where I set him down because he can wiggles off the couch or out of his bouncer in no time.
I just love this little guy!
