Living a Blessed Life

All I can say is Thank You, God for an amazing 6 months with Tobiah.

He is such a happy baby that I do not want his teeth to alter his fun-loving personality. He is growing and changing so quickly that it's almost hard to keep up. I am diligently working on documenting every part of his first year that I can. This past month has been a lot of fun! Tobiah is growing into his personality and becoming more and more fun every day. He is sitting up most of the time, and is almost able to sit unassisted. He LOVES jumping in his jumper chair! The seat turns around so he can look out the window or anywhere in ...
