Living with Perfection...


When you see that beautiful smile, how does your heart not just melt?


Babies truly are perfect...think about it...They can't sin, they don't know how to be bad. They are perfect beings here to bring joy to everyone around them. Steve was commenting to me the other day that "wow, we are living with a perfect person. Can you believe that?"

I really can't believe it! She is just the happiest girl and is learning so fast. Whenever Steve comes home she just smiles and lights up. It is so fun to watch. She cannot yet sit up or crawl, but somehow she manages to move from one position to another, and face different directions. I am in no rush for her to be mobile, yet want her to get the hang of it soon...hmm.. Andy does this little grunt thing that I can't quite understand. She just grunts. We laugh when she does it. It is her form of communication. I love my little ball of perfection!

“When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way.

He doesn’t stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother.

And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits.

The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies.”
-E.T. Sullivan, quoted by President Hinckley

Staring at babies and young children is so soothing. They are like therapy after a hard day. They are worth all the hard nights in the first few months. It is so fulfilling to see them smile and to hear them laugh.

I love the last picture! So cute!
