The Gift

  • For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
  • For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
  • If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

Time is flying by....

Dear Family and Friends,

WOW! I can't believe how quickly time is going by! I am scheduled to go back to work next week and am dreading it! I am just not ready to leave my baby! (but then again, I don't think I will ever be ready to leave her - even when she's 20!)

We are adjusting very well. Sophie is cutting more teeth but remains a very happy baby despite the gum irritation. She won't take any teething toys (in fact she puts very little in her mouth other than food), so I have been giving her ibuprofen when she gets really fussy - otherwise she just chews on her shirt sleeves.

I have been very blessed in the last week to have had not one but two beautiful baby showers! My daughter will be the best dressed child in the Commonwealth for the next 3 years! She is too cute, my baby! She did very well at both events, despite being extremely over tired at both functions. She just can't help but be charming and flirty! I can't believe how generous everyone was and am so grateful for the warm welcome my daughter received.

I read the comments from my last post - thank you all for taking the time to write! Shawn - I promise to send you an email - I hope you and the tribe are well? Kathryn! Congratulations! I didn't know you were pregnant! How exciting! Can we get together? I know you are in touch with Ramona so maybe we can schedule something? Jane: I will give you a call - probably before you even get to read this! I think about you, Erik, Connor and Maddie all the time! What wonderful memories of Beijing I have because of you two!

I will download new pictures from my camera soon and update the Sophie pictures! She is just the cutest thing! and she talks up a storm! (not that I understand any of it, mind you!)

Blessings,
Chinamom and Sophie

one thing you can do for her teeth is wet a washcloth and freeze it then let her go to town, does she eat fruit? one thing I did for my girls is freeze small piece of fruit and they got some releif from that also...........
