I really like this picture of Adam. Not only is he wearing a cute
onesie tie-dyed by his Cook Aunts, Uncle, and Grands, which is super cute but he is also showing off one of his new tricks! With the support of the couch at his back he is able to sit up. only falling over when he gets too wiggly :) Other new skills he has all but mastered include:
~standing, with only stabilizing back support (he has been doing that for a few weeks!)
~making fists with his thumb on the outside
~responsive smiling (seriously soooo cute!)
~talking, I wouldn't really call it cooing yet seeing as though it sounds pretty forced and more like yelling, but he will start jabbering away... tried to get it on camera but I guess he is a little camera shy, or just being a tease :)
~self soothing by licking and sometimes sucking on his fist, one time he even got his thumb!
We took him swimming on Labor day and he really enjoyed that as well. It just amazes me how quickly he is learning and that he is such a good baby.
On a more spiritual note. I have always felt or known that our Heavenly Father loves his children, but it wasn't until Adam came into my life that I started understanding if only a little bit that kind of love. I look at Adam and I am filled with this indescribable love for him. Mostly he eats, sleeps, whines, and makes messes in his diaper, but I love him all the same, logically or not. Most of the time we as humans whine and make messes out of everything, but God loves us, and he always will. We are his children and nothing we can do will change that. I look at the love I have for my husband and son and I am filled with gratitude and awe to realize that my love pales in comparison to God's love. His love is perfect. I hope to one day understand that love completely.
