Much has happened since he was born. We were so blessed with his little life and he has helped all of us grow in many ways. The kids have grown in responsibility, Jim and I have grown in trusting God in all circumstances and our family has grown together in working as a unit. How could so much happen in just one year!
Timothy started out as a small little boy, and though a champion nurser, he didn't want to grow. By God's grace, that has changed and now he loves his bottle, loves to eat real food and is growing like a champ. He is so active and loves playing with his siblings. He is a super fast crawler and can pull to standing on anything. He's thinking about walking, but taking his sweet time. (That's OK by me.)
Timothy's smile can light up a room! He is so friendly and loves to be around person. Already he is showing those extroverted tendencies. He is so loved by his siblings who do such an amazing job of helping with him. Timothy has the best laugh and finds everything James does quite amusing!
Recently, Timothy has started waving and saying "Hi" when you see him or just to get your attention. He loves to jabber and his getting a few words. He is also starting to enjoy playing and books. He definitely loves to learn. With nice weather earlier this week, Timothy was able to explore outside, and while apprehensive, he still enjoyed the new experience and explored his new surroundings.
We are so thankful for Timothy and so blessed to have him in our family. We are so thankful God has healed his growth issues and that Timothy is thriving today. He is starting to show his personality, and we are excited to see the man that he will be.
Father, thank You for Timothy and his precious life! Thank You for giving him to us to love and care for and train in Your ways. I pray even now that You will work in Timothy's heart as he hears the truth of Your Word preached and the Gospel spoken over his life so that he will receive the gift of Your grace with gladness and be fully Your child. Thank You that we get to be a part of this amazing work. Grow him into a man after Your own heart that loves You with all of his heart, soul, mind and strength and loves his neighbor as himself. I pray this in Jesus Name. Amen!
