Growing

So it has officially been a LONG time since I have posted anything.  I could say something like, "things here have been crazy", and while life has it's moments that wouldn't be entirely true.  We are learning, being stretched, dragging our feet, but mostly just enjoying this journey that we are on.  Bryan has been traveling a lot so that has been a big adjustment for us.  It has been great though to see God's hand in the details and using friends and family to encourage us and help out.
Lola is 14 months old already and time is truly flying.  How does this happen...

She is growing like crazy and now walks pretty much everywhere.  She says "hi", "yeah" (perfectly timed to answer any question :), "Papa", "uh oh" (when anyone within view drops anything), "Mama", "Dada", "Nana", and "duh"(which is short for Judah, her cousin)  She loves people, especially kids and gets so excited when she has a friend to play with.  She loves to take your finger and show you around, even though she can walk perfectly on her own.  She also loves to "dance" and bounces and sways whenever she hears music.  She is eating mostly veggie burgers, puffed Kamut cereal, almond yogurt and almond butter, Wasa crisp crackers, veggies if they are well disguised, bananas, berries, apples, oats and almond milk and I believe is the best hydrated baby because she will drink water constantly. She is sleeping a TON better and now will sleep through the night every few days with the rest of the nights up 1-2 times.  Plus a 2-3 hour nap daily, score!

She loves giving kisses too :)

All in all we are enjoying this phase of our life and really continuing to seek what and where God is leading us.  This is a daily process and we are encouraged by His provision for all of our needs.
