Slow Down, Please!

Dear Marcus,

Will you please stop growing?  Seriously.  It's happening too fast.  I'm not ready for you to be big.  Your newest thing is talking (which is hilarious) and you've found your hands.  It's so cute and yet, stop it!  This is the last new thing you are allowed to do this week!  It's funny because with your brother, I was so ready for him to reach all of these milestones.  I'm finding myself enjoying every single little stage you are in.  I am trying to savor every moment with you because I know that I will blink and you'll be a big boy.

I'm sure I will say this every post, but you are such a sweet baby.  You look at me with those big blue eyes and I melt.  You'll probably learn to use that against me. :)

I want you to know that I treasure you and am so thankful that God gave you to us...you are a good gift from Him!  God is constantly reminding me that He is good and that He knows what is best for our family.  The Bible says that we can make plans but God is going to take us down the best path for us.  It's comforting to know this because all of my plans never seem to be as good as what God has in store for me.

Your dad and I are going to start praying for you and your brother.  We have a list of specific qualities (like courage and purity) that we are going to pray constantly for you to grow in.  Most importantly, we are going to pray that God will change your heart and you will choose salvation at an early age. 

We love you so much, little guy.  I am so thankful for your precious life.

Love,

Mom
