Be Careful What You Pray For

Maddie is just over 10 months now (I wish I could post a picture, but I'm still having those computer issues). She is very active. We're assuming that she will have a very similar personality to big brother, Eli. Which in and of itself is a funny story.

See when we first found out we were pregnant. Ron and I didn't speak for a couple of days, but after the shock wore off and the first round of morning (or all day) sickness subsided. I embraced the fact that once again I would hold a newborn in my hands and love and care for him or her. I secretly prayed 2 things. 1 - Jesus, could I please have a baby girl. I really felt pretty confident about this because from the very beginning this pregnancy was different from any of the boys. 2 - I prayed that he or she would please not be as energetic as Eli. He is simply a handful, especially compared to Ronnie and Nathaniel. So the funny thing is that Jesus answered both prayers. We got our beautiful baby girl and she doesn't have Eli's energy - she seems to have more. Be careful what you pray for!!!

So our beautiful baby girl who is non-stop is now getting the personality to match that non-stop movement. She is very...High Maintenance. Very...opinionated, already. And Very...stubborn. I'm not sure where she gets all of that, but she is her own little lady.

So our little girl has been displaying her stubborn personality at meal time. She is, already at 10 months, wanting nothing but table food. She thinks that she is big and wants only to eat what we are eating. All that to say that last night she ate more dinner that any of her 3 brothers. They weren't big on our dinner choices, but she just kept shoveling it in. She is for sure a chunk!

I really can't complain. I prayed for a little girl and Jesus provided a beautiful, happy, bouncy, non-stop movement bundle of joy - who at the moment is emptying the bookshelf. Gotta go!

Because I hate the idea of not posting a picture about her when I blog about her - I'm posting one of the last pictures I got off my camera. It's a few weeks old, but she's still a cutie! Enjoy!
