10 Months

Today, I once again stop and consider how beautiful and lively and very present this wonderful little person is. It is now ten whole months after we were given the report that she very well might not live, and I am in awe of God's faithfulness. I've said it before and I'll say it again-- over and over and over again: Aubrey is a miracle before our eyes.

::She has six very sharp teeth.
::She still isn't crawling (officially my slowest, as my others crawled at 6 months or 8 months), though she hangs out on all 4s constantly and scoots all over the place.
::She finally (!) takes a nap or two every day.
::She claps and boogies to music and regularly plays Peek-A-Boo.
::She loves going for walks in her stroller, playing in her highchair while we eat meals, Mama's shoulder rides, and being in on the action.
::She's still solely breastfed. (Well, she did eat paper off a toy once and sand at the beach on Tuesday, but I don't think that really counts...)
::She had to go for her first Go-To-Sleep-Baby car ride the other night. (It worked.)
::She's so healthy, she hasn't seen a doctor in a month.

Thank You, Lord, for Aubrey. Thank You for ten months of miraculous provision and sustaining power. Thank You for strengthening our confidence in You and Your faithfulness through her. Thank You for watching over her.

We are so, so blessed.
