My Darling William,
You. Are. Everywhere! One week you were taking your first crawling step and now you are all but speed crawling. Bella still has you beat. ;) But it won't take you more than a month to catch up. Just this week you have started pulling up on things. You haven't figured out that you have to hold on to the object so you can stay up, but I'm very impressed with how strong your arms are becoming. I really have to tug to pull things from you. Lol. Also your first four top teeth are coming in. Yes, four! All at once! I feel bad for you, although you don't complain too much.
Along with your mobility has come fall after fall, after pinching fingers, after more falling. The other day you hit your new teeth so hard that you made your mouth bleed. And today as you pinched your finger in a drawer, I thought about how much more I am going to have to watch you fall and hurt yourself. I know that all this pain is necessary for you to learn about consequences and needing to be careful in life. It also occurred to me today that this is the reason that Jesus came. He came not just to save us from our sins, but also to undo all our hurt and pain. This is why you need Jesus, little man! This life is filled with lots and lots of owies. They will help you learn hard lessons, but they are also to point us to Jesus and help us long for the day when everything will be fixed and repaired. No more owies and no more death. Won't that be wonderful? Don't worry, I'll keep reminding you when you fall again tomorrow and next week and next year. Jesus loves you so much and he gave you a momma who will kiss you when you get hurt. I love you sweet boy. Don't stop growing.
Your mom
