We've been enjoying doing just about anything goofy to get Teigan to smile! :) It's hard to catch it on camera because she always stares at the camera as soon as it comes out, but here are a few smiles that Kyle caught...

2 months
We can hardly believe that our sweet little girl is already 2 months old! WOW! It's so true that the time flies by, and she is changing so fast. Here are a few of the things she loves to do at 2 months...
~look at lights
~have Daddy read to her
~bathtime
~swings and bouncy seats (this is definitely a new development over the past month--yay!)
~smiling, especially if you make funny faces at her
~kicking her legs and putting her hands by her face
~the music in her mobile
~having her feet massaged (just like her mom--hehe!)
There is so much more, but those are just a few highlights. We are still so very thankful for her, and the blessing of family and friends to support us.

It Takes A Village...
Yes, I'm still alive! :) So it has been months since I've posted but never fear, I have some new revelations to share! Here 'goes...
So anyone reading this blog knows that we have welcomed a sweet baby girl into our family. Parenthood has rocked our worlds, and we are so thankful for all of the ways God is showing Himself ever-faithful as we embark on this journey. As the title of this post eludes to, we have seen His faithfulness so clearly through our amazing family and friends. Never before have we needed so much help, support, and prayer....and never before has God delivered like He has these past 6 weeks. We are so blessed! We've had family stay over to help, pray, friends bring groceries, come hold her so I can shower (yes!), pray, bring meals, bring clothes, pray, clean, do laundry, call or stop by for some company, pray.....you get the idea. It literally has taken the "village" of our family and friends to help us get started on this wonderful, but crazy new role as parents. Thank you is not even enough to begin covering the blessings you all have given us--we hope to be able to bless you all this much as we all continue to do life together.
Another revelation is how powerful God's Word, even His name is! So many nights in the first month especially I would find myself just saying certain verses over and over again...literally clinging to them...or just praying and saying His name over and over again. Even in the hardest hours He was there! It didn't always FEEL like it, but I can see it now. It is amazing how relevant God's Word is in the midst of trials. His Word proves true--He gave me peace and joy--He restores my soul! Thank you Lord!
Finally, I am beginning to understand more clearly and fully the love that God has for us. To give up His ONLY SON to save me from my sin? Wow! I cannot imagine giving my sweet baby up for anyone/anything....parenthood is definitely bringing a new viewpoint to the sacrifice that Jesus gave with His life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son. So that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life." I know it's a familiar verse that we all know, but what a miracle! What a priceless gift! If you're reading this and not sure what I'm even talking about, or are curious about how you can have this peace and eternal life in Heaven, PLEASE call me or stop by. I would love to share with you! :)
Again, THANK YOU to those of you that have been "our village" the past 6 weeks. We love you all, and pray God's blessings on you in this new year.
**ps. for those still reading, I updated/added pics to our Latest Hardie Pics too :)
