Zara's Dedication

My husband and I both grew up in church. We got dedicated as babies and our parents did the impossible to instill in us the desire to serve and follow the Lord.
Now, that we are the ones with a baby of our own, we will do the impossible for her to grow up knowing and serving God and develop her God given potential.

Many times I imagined what it would be like when I had a baby of my own, how would I speak to her, how would I be able to teach her the ways of our Father, how would I be able to express how much her parents love serving God and His house and now that she is here I know that living my example is the answer. There is nothing I can say that would show her how important it is to follow Jesus than to demonstrate with our actions that He is the way, the truth and the light,

So a couple of weeks ago we dedicated her to the Lord. She was prayed for, my husband spoke over her and family and friends alongside the church were witnesses of this beautiful moment.

Five months with our sweet baby today

We love her strong personality, at this young age we can already see glimpses of who she is. I love staying at home with her and observe every little change she goes through.

Zara has been rolling over a lot better this month. All that tummy time that she is not too fond of is paying of. 

She is always looking around every time we enter a new place.

Loves to smile when someone smiles at her and has loud conversations with dad when he gets home from work.

Jumping has been her favorite activity these days.
Zara has started to recognize familiar faces and gets very excited when she sees someone she recognizes.
Her bottom gums look a little swollen, so I am guessing she is teething, also because she has been fussier than usual and her night schedule has completely changed.

Going for walks in the carrier are still one of our favorite things to do together.

Every day I am amazed of how much she has grown in these five months that to me feel like five days.

Month 4 has been a month of new discoveries.

Z found out it is fun to reach for her feet an suck on her big toe.

She has been able to sit up on her own for short periods of time. 

Tummy time is exciting for her now, she looks through books, plays with teething toys and screams at the ceiling for no apparent reason, it is just amusing for her. 

Staring and talking to her reflection in the mirror is hilarious for us. She smiles and reaches for it. 

Teething pain has been the only low this month but even through the discomfort she has been her happy self for the most part.

She is still nursing a hundred percent.

This month we dedicated her at church. I will post about it soon. Free time is a luxury now a days.
