Timothy Is Two!!!

How can it be our youngest boy is already two years old? He was the first child born in our current home and has added so much life to it since he arrived! 

Timothy is such a spunky personality but also quiet and sweet. He's the first of our children I would say is shy, but thankfully with his easy going nature he warms up quickly. He loves his mama and his James and for the most part does not want to be with anyone else. Recently he has shown more affection for others, but still would choose one of those over anyone else. Even with this, Timothy enjoys being around people but also enjoys his time alone. 

Timothy is already studious, loving books, coloring, and examining what's going on in the world around him. He wants to know what everything is called and when he knows eagerly points and tells you what he sees. Timothy also likes order and, while still learning to put things back, he knows exactly where things should go and where to find what he's looking for. He is definitely particular about things and will let you know if something is amiss!

In the past couple of months, Timothy has grown in singing. He loves to sing with us "The Doxology" and "Holy, Holy, Holy" and learns the other songs we sing and play in the car. It's such a blessing to hear him sing praise songs and hymns to our God and we pray as he grows these songs will remind him of the truth of God's Word and the Gospel message to hold fast to. 

Timothy is such a little light in our house. With his bright blond hair and infectious smile he lights up any room he enters. He has that two-year-old energy but with guided direction and surety. He's always making us laugh and teaches us to slow down and enjoy the moments we have. All of his siblings love playing with him and he can always make Essie smile. He's quick to give affection and loves hugs and kisses.

I'm so thankful for this precious boy that God has given to us! 

Father, thank You for the gift of Timothy to our family. Thank You for the way he teaches us, even as a young one. Thank You for his eagerness to learn and please continue to grow that in him. Please give him the greatest desire to know You and learn all he can about You and please save him by Your grace. Thank You for the reminder that You are our light when we see Timothy light up a room. May he honor You with all that he is and be a light for the Gospel everywhere he goes. In Jesus Name I ask these things. Amen!
