7 months...

Brianna is now 7 months old. I can't believe how fast these past 7 months have gone. I look back at the pictures of her first few hours, days and weeks, and it seems like a blur! She has changed so much and I love looking at life through her eyes. I can't remember life before her...I completely love being a mother!

She is not crawling as of yet, but not without trying. She understands that the arms need to move and the legs need to move, just hasn't realized that they both need to move at the same time! Ha ha. She loves to roll around and that is her main method of transportation.

Last week, we started her on baby food. We had started on cereal a few weeks back and she didn't seem a big fan of that. So far, we have successfully made it through sweet potatoes and bananas. We are going to do a vegetable, then a fruit, until we've gone through all of them.

That's about it for now...

Please pray for this family....

I found this family through another blog. Their daughter was born last June weighing in at one pound. She fought long and hard through many surgeries, but she was called to live as an angel yesterday.

I never "met" these people, but my heart is breaking for the family.

In My Daughter's Eyes...

This song has always struck a chord with me and it became even more powerful after Brianna was born.


In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
