Laughing

Caleb is attempting to give Daddy his "Icee".... he apparently thought it was hilarious that Travis didn't want his chewed ice!

Well our little man popped another tooth today- making his grand total eight teeth! This has allowed him to eat more 'human food.' I can now hand him an entire apple or plum and this tasty delight will keep him entertained for long periods of time as he learns how to use his new enamels!

I had my 30 week appointment this week and everything looks good. Micah John continues to be very active with a healthy heartbeat of 144.

The Lord has been recently teaching me about discipline [both for my life and as I begin to train Caleb]. The verse that I am meditating upon is: Hebrews 12:10-11...

"...No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful [Caleb learns this principle everyday!]. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it [Oh Lord, bring on the harvest!! :) ]."

I am reading the book, "Feminine Appeal- Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother" and C. Mahonely has this to say regarding discipline: "Scripture says the avoidance of discipline is an expression of hate, not love (Proverbs 13:24). Far better that children should cry under healthful correction, than that parents should afterwards cry under the bitter fruit to themselves and children, of neglected discipline." She goes on to say that to neglect proper discipline is a selfish and lazy act of the parent!

Love you!!
