Happy 8 months a little late

Well Summer is here and we have been so busy. I am sorry to be late on getting Ansley's 8 month update, but I guess better late than never. She is changing so very fast. Some new things is she now has her 2 bottom teeth! She also said her 1st word which I'm happy to say was "Mama" the 1st one to say it first, both other children said "Dada"! She mainly says it when she wants something! We have given you a new treat which you are a huge fan of, watermelon. Still not a big eater on the baby food, but we are always trying new things. Puffs and Cheerios are a hit around here.  She just about has the crawling thing down. She will get on all fours and rock, and just today she went for something that was out of reach. My life is just about to get a little more busy! You are still having bad separation anxiety! I have not been able to leave you with no one. Even at the nursery you are not a happy camper without your Mommy around. I know she will out grow this, so trying to enjoy her being all about me while it last!

We went on vacation to Charleston and had a blast. She really loved the beach, and I think would stay in the pool all day! She did try to eat the sand which was hard to keep it out of her reach.

I took her to the Doctor thinking she had an ear infection, but it was just her teeth. She weighed 15 lbs 5 oz, which is in the 10% for her age.  I can't believe how fast this precious time goes by, before you know it we will be planning her 1st b-day! It is such a wonderful blessing being your parents and I hope and pray you will always know how very special and loved you are!

Ansley's Baby dedication

Today was a very special day for our family! We had baby dedication at church for Miss Ansley! 

Here is the dedication we shared today...... 

We are eternally grateful as we come into Your presence this day Lord to present our precious little daughter, Ansley Marie, to be dedicated to You.  With this statement of faith in You as our Lord and Savior, we commit to raise Ansley in a Christian home of love and peace.  We will teach her of Christ's love and a need for salvation.  We will teach her to trust in You, and that she can do all things through Christ which strengthens her.  We will teach her to love, to be kind, considerate, gentle, caring toward others.  We will teach her to pray, as we will continue to pray for her, for a Godly husband and for God's plans and purposes for her life be fulfilled.  We will teach her to praise and worship you in all things.  We will provide for her needs, we will love her unconditionally, we will protect her from evil influences.  We thank You God for this little angel you have brought into our family, and we ask for Godly wisdom and grace to fulfill our responsibilities in being the parents that will bring you Glory.
