Two and half months ago our lives changed for the better. We had a baby girl, Emerald Lee Jayeng. She was 7lb 8ounces at birth. Now she is about 14lb. She has black hair and blue eyes, and tan skin. She knows what she wants and won't settle for less. On the whole she is easy to handle and doing so much better with sleeping at night than Topaz did at her age.
There is something about having children that teaches a person about life. Children are so forgiving; you can wrong them, punish them but they still want you and forget any wrong done. Also they are observant. They do what you do, say what you say, follow your example. They are so easily excited and eager to please. They are innocent but not ignorant. I watch my two year old, who pulls books off the shelf and picks cats up by the tail, and my new born, who is so helpless, and think that is how I want to be. If only we could keep our childhood a little longer.
In conclusion, here's your dang picture Rebekah:)

Being a parent teaches you so much...It is easy why we are commanded to do it if we can. God wants to give us kids just like us...I often see my kids doing obnoxious things and grumble but if I think about it I can think of things I do still that are so similar and wonder...so that is how God must feel when I do that. Like complain when I don't get what I want.
Hurray I got my dang picture!! You do realize I would have made cookies whether or not you posted this picture, right? It is FHE tonight anyway. ;)
She's beautiful, Amber. I learn so much from my children each day. They are so smart, so honest and innocent, funny, and full of love.
