Almost 1

In 2 weeks my baby boy will turn 1. I can't believe it. He is learning things so quickly these past few weeks, like signing thank you after a meal and signing drink. He also started taking the phone and putting it on his shoulder. We tell him to say hello, and he babbles something that kind of sounds like hello. He also says hi. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence when he said it and was waving, but I've heard it several times now.

He's started cruising around the coffee table last Saturday. He loves to walk around if you hold him by his hands, and today he walked across his room with his walker. It's so funny to watch his little legs and feet as they try to find stability.

Brandt is such a sweet boy! He makes the funniest faces, like squinting his eyes, smiling big and tilting his head way back. He does his "ohhhh" face all of the time. When Daddy gets home from work, he gets excited along with Lucy. He loves to climb the stairs and go in the playroom. We have the ottoman blocking the stairs and he will stand at the ottoman fussing because he wants to go up. He is also kind of klutzy... he hits his head on things when he gets excited because he starts turning circles on the floor. He's a bit dramatic when he cries, you might think something is seriously wrong, but no, that's our drama king! I love everything about him and I am so thankful for my healthy little boy.

Just thinking...

Today in the car, Lucy out of the blue announced that she was just thinking about Jesus on the cross. I said, what were you thinking about that? She was very quiet for a moment and then said, that He had nails in His hands and in His feet and I think He cried. I said, I think He cried too because that must have hurt a lot. I said, does that make you feel special that He did all that for you. She told me, yes, because He died for my sins.

Lucy, how cool that at 3 you are putting this all together... I can't wait for the day when you want to ask Jesus in your heart! So exciting!!!
