My Baby Is A Practical Joker =)

So over the past couple of months I have noticed that my precious little boy has been playing games and laughing at people. Not with people, but at them. He acts like he can't understand them, and when they turn around he does what they wanted. When they turn back around he acts like nothing happened. He also likes to sneak up on people when they turn around and touch them followed by running away when they turn around. He even does slight of hand or more like speed of hand. My family and I were playing monopoly and my son grabbed sixty dollars off the board right in front of us all. It was so fast that we were all stunned for about 10 seconds. I am not even sure I saw his hand reach for the money! I ask you, is an 11 month old suppose to do these things? He also likes to pinch nipples while whizzing by with the added clicking sound as if to say "got another one." He pretends to give people things and then snatches it back when they reach for them with a laugh. About this laugh, it kind of sounds like a laugh of victory. Once again my little fella says "gotcha" in his own little way. He even points and laughs, in a non-vicious way. When he is done with his jokes he looks at me with a slight smile digs his head into my chest and rubs my arm as if to say "silly mommy you have no idea just how smart I am, but I love you." Most of the time I end up laughing at him laughing at me. We laugh and we love.

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
