Encouraging Joy & Grace

Three Months!

Oh Goodness. I'm a proud, happy blog mom. Have you read Jill's Wall of Faith post? If you haven't read it yet, you really should. Here. The comments on various facebook pages made me smile. This one got me.
​
"Gratitude is the best medicine on Earth, and the pit of despair is terribly deep. We must stay away from its edge."

Yes!!

Anyway. I'm a proud, happy, tired, crazy blog mom. Quirky Faith is officially three months old today.

I remember when my eldest turned three months old. If you have kids you probably remember that stage as well. By three months old you have survived the sleepless nights, the frustration of inexplicable crying, the worry that your baby isn't eating. You've been puked on. Pooped on. You are exhausted and emotional. By now you've figured out that while you thought you knew everything about parenting, you know absolutely nothing. You are praying deep gutteral one word prayers. Help. Please.

And then three months arrives and your baby smiles. Or holds your hand. Or does any manner of precious, talented, amazing things that most every baby on the planet does and you go from crazy messed up mom to deeply madly in love. You take a deep breath.

This is my eldest at three months. See that little grin? I love her confident kicked back attitude. This was the photo which told me we were going to be okay. I recognize that to everyone else this is probably just a photo of a baby. Nothing special. But to a mom these little milestones matter. They show growth and progress. It's a way to count the list of gratitudes one more time.  What milestones did you celebrate with your kids? 

The last three months with Quirky Faith have been much like that newborn stage.  Exhausting. Humbling. Fun. Painful. The three month milestone is causing me to pause.  To look up from the keyboard and smile. Thank you to the Wall of Faith writers. I'm grateful for your stories. Thank you to everyone for reading and sharing and commenting.  You encourage me.  Here is a little Saturday morning encouragement back to you.  If you have a dream rolling around in the back of your head go for it. Give birth.  You'll survive the newborn stage.  You can do it.  We will cheer you on. 

Quirky Faith is three months old. She's getting some traction. Kicking back with a confident grin.  Come along.
