So very true how a mother adores her son… They are our babies and oh how they love their mommies…

I love love love your blog. I get such encouragement from it. My kids are similar ages to yours and I find my attitude toward the day-in day-out (i.e. laundry, dishes, etc.) improving after reading your blog because it reminds me I get to do all of that for them and ultimately for the glory of the Lord. Thank you for sharing!

Abby! I just found this gem of a poem and want it for my own as well. What type of mother in law will i be one day?! I sure hope to not hold on too tightly but afraid of the inevitable. It is something about a baby boy

I can attest to this little ones strength early on – He certainly is a strong little nugget slapping around on things and people – No no no I also agree you will probably be a very scary monster in law!
Glad i got to see the little ones dedication in person! Much love – sis 2

Abby,
I just wrote a post about my baby boy growing up too. Not as beautifully as your poem expresses it, though!
I love every word. thanks for sharing

seriously abby???? SERIOUSLY? you HAD to write this didnt you…. ill have you know i too am seriously lamenting my youngest baby’s rapid growth. he is so close to walking and, while i loved it with my older two, i honestly want him to remain dependent on me FOR LIFE. one day we can shoo away their female suitors together my dear. shoo them with a BROOM!

That is beautiful. As a mama to my own precious, precious son, I could feel every word you wrote. And now I’m wiping tears. So sweet.
