• Jun. 15, 2007 - Sophia our Sweet Baby Girl
| Sophia will be turning 12 months old on 7-7 in just a few weeks. I can not fully express what a special girl she is. It's always easy to say " Isn't she a doll " about little girl babies but really she is so doll like. She has a very delicate and sweet disposition and is petite in size. She handles things in a even tempered way most of the time and interacts with her brothers and sister with character if that can be said of such a young one. She has been the most handled baby meaning not only loved with hugs and cuddles but lots of getting bumped around and plain squished! She had to live through a 2 yo sister playing doll with her constantly... Lina was often telling me how to take care of Sophia ;^) I have really just started in the 'training phase' that includes giving a little swat on the thigh. It is hard to do but I want her to stay sweet and obedient. I have learnt many hard lessons about my weaknesses as a parent and am no longer ignorant of the way the Bible tells us to train. She has the best of me at this point. I am a seasoned mom not perfect but much more sure of myself than I was with baby number one 7 years ago! I am so thankful the Lord gave godly courage to us to have this little one added to our home. It is not easy most days with 4 small children but we have a lot of gratitude for these special blessings in our lives. We have no desire to limit our family and thus even on the rough days I am saying " Oh, Lord it is so hard but please don't let me give up and give in to controlling things I want you to be in control always."The children want to have a " boy, brother " next time and although I usually have no preference I am desiring this also. So we shall see. |
