Pete is cruising. Here is a video of daddy making him chase after his cracker biscuit. In the end Pete gets a bite of biscuit and daddy sneaks in a kiss. I love when Pete stops for a second and sticks his bottom up in the air then keeps going. Makes me laugh every time. Pete is such a joy. I have loved every stage of his life so far from the couple day old little blob in my arms to the reactive, silly 8 month old crawling and exploring this world.
There were times this weekend when I felt overwhelming contentment. I felt like I couldn't ask for anything else in this world that would make me any happier than how I felt right then. On the way to the mall Saturday I heard the Martina McBride song Blessed. I never really paid much attention to this song and to tell you the truth, never really liked it that much. But Saturday the words spoke right to me and I knew then that this was exactly how I felt about my life.
Here is a little bit of the song:
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place
I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed
Here is another short video of Pete. He does this thing where when you say "Petesy wins!" he puts his arms up in the air like a celebration or touchdown. Love it. Check it out.
And last but not least a picture from the ITT Christmas Party Saturday night. Good times with our good friends Rachel and John.
A couple cute pictures of Pete from this week. He is crawling all over and pushing himself up on things to stand. He loves the kitchen cabinets but can't quite open them himself yet. He sits in front of it and grunts until I open it for him then he pulls out whatever he can get his hands on. Because he is so active now I couldn't leave him alone while I went to get the laundry tonight so I put him in the laundry basket and carried him with me. He thought it was hilarious.
