God Gave Me A Boy...

1.  who loves milk (soy milk especially) and he uses this sign the most.

2.  who is a cuddler and a snuggler.  There is NO PLACE Everett would rather be than next to me.

3.  who was designed to be in the presence of others, that's where he's most content.

4.  who says quite a few words already.  "Ma, Ma" "Da,Da" "Ball" "Uh, Oh" and a couple more that escape me now.

5.  who looks like his father.  I see it in his eyes and the shape of his eyebrows.  

6.  who will be a naturally gifted athlete.  He can already hit a ball multiple times with a ping-pong paddle and concentrates on something until he gets it right.  He has the gift of patience likes his daddy.

7.  who LOVES to have a soft blanket next to him, and when we lay him down he moves his feet and legs back and forth (in excitement) to show us how cozy he likes to be.

8.  who appreciates good music like his brother and rocks out bopping his head back and forth.

9.  who's hair grows faster than I can keep up with.

10.  who is smaller in weight than his brother, but I bet will surpass him in height.

Thank you Dear God for our Sweet Everett!  He is a blessing that has brought Daniel, Liam, and I SO MUCH joy.

1. who likes to engage in imaginative play for hours and hours at a time.  He is every character imaginable and fights "all the bad guys" during the day.

2.  who loves to snuggle and be close to us.  Since Spring Break began, we have been bending the bedtime back a bit just to hold Liam a little longer before sleep.  The last few nights we have been up with him past 11 and loving every minute of it.  Did I tell you that he just gets better as the night progresses?

3.  who thinks he's a man.  

Tiffany: "Daniel, let's put the baby to bed (meaning Liam)." 

Liam: "I'm not a baby, Mom.  I'm a man!"

 Tiffany (smiling):  "Okay, Daniel, let's put the man to bed."

4.  whose mind and body are growing a rapid pace.  I seriously cannot keep up with his development...it is new and changing each day.

5.  who rides his bike like a pro and looks SO GREAT doing it!

6.  who is more priceless than any monetary gift.

7.  who is a fish even in the coldest weather.  Liam went swimming at my dad's house over the break, in his unders (that's what we call them), despite the water being FRIGID!  He just jumped off the diving board and got in.  L-boy is SO much more brave than his mommy!!!

8.  who loves to dance and can now tell me the artists of certain music.  

Liam: "Mom, is this U2?"  

Liam: "Turn it up, Mom.  This is Seal and Heidi, his honey."

Liam:  "Mom, let's listen to Jai Ho from Slumdog."

9.  who is just beautiful to look at.  

10.  who, by God's grace, will live forever with us in heaven!

Thank you, thank you God for my son and the joy he brings me each and every day.  He and his brother are the ultimate gifts in this life, and I praise you Sweet Jesus for allowing Daniel and I the opportunity to shepherd them on this earth.
