Seven months old

"Prayer of Gratitude for Our Little Girl"
"Baby Dedication" March 8, 2009
Lord, I thank You for this precious gift of my daughter. You have given her to me and now I dedicate Caroline to You. You alone know what she needs. I release her to You to care for and protect, and I commit myself to pray for everything You put on my heart. Teach me how to pray, and guide me in what to pray for with regard to her life. Help me not to impose my own will when I'm praying for her, but rather enable me to always pray that Your will be done in her life.
Because Your Word says that every good gift comes from You, I know that You have given her to me to raise. Help me to do that. I invite You to be in control of her life. I rely on You for everything, and this day I trust my child into Your care.
This is another prayer from the book Jared got Caroline for Valentine's Day. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1147987019&searchurl=ds%3D30%26isbn%3D9780736921589%26n%3D100121501%26sortby%3D15 (such a sweet book!)

Once again...I cannot believe another month has gone by. You are finally drinking some formula, which I thought was never going to happen. I was ready to give up, until we were in Dothan a few weeks ago and we tried some of "cousin Dean's" and you loved it. Meghann thought it was her special touch, but I think we just finally found something you liked!

You are still not liking baby food to much, although this morning you did eat half a thing of applesauce. However....you do like our food. You love green beans, peas, and butter beans; which really surprises me.

You are trying your hardest to crawl, but can't get it figured out just yet. I give you about 3 more weeks!!

And......still your favorite thing of all is your "BIG BUBBA"!!!
