Carrots & a little "Peek-a-Boo!"

A few post back I made mention that Bear LOVES carrots. The boy can throw some down.No.lie.
Here's a few pics to prove it.

Something must have been really funny here...



...And I can't forget about a little friendly game of "Peek-a-Boo!" The boy cracks me up and definitely has a personality on him...no doubt about that one. He knows what he wants...it'll just be nice when he actually can speak, with words, what he wants. This is Bear hiding his eyes/face from me. 
"PEEK-A-BOO!"

"I'm not done yet, mom!"  I tend to do what he "says" in cases such as this one... I just keep playing along with him until he is tired of hiding his face. 




There are days, many of them, when I just look at Bear and see God's grace and favor. Last night as we sat around the dinner table, as a family, I looked at Trey and said, "Can you believe it? He is apart of us." He is our flesh and blood in his own person. It's moments like these that take me back to our first pregnancy. As sad as miscarriage is I still believe that God's grace and favor rest on those of us who have experienced that sort of loss. When you think about the complexity of creating a child it TRULY is by God's grace that we are even able to conceive. Know what I mean? So, when I look at this sweet face I am reminded that much more of God's grace and favor on our lives. If you are a woman who has a child or children, whether by conception or adoption, you are blessed and highly favored. Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Psalm 127:3


Bear closes this blog out with saying, "PEEK-A-BOO!" I'm thinking this is a game that will never grow old to him. In fact, I picture him running around this house hiding from us & jumping out of a room to say, "PEEK-A-BOO!" 

Happy Thursday!
