Hugs and Kisses


We just can't help but give Selah hugs and kisses, and say 'I love you' all the time. She is just so darn cute! So as a result she has developed a new skill. Selah has been making the kiss noise, you know the smacking of the lips. She has also tried to give me kisses a few times, however she doesn't understand yet that she needs to close her mouth. I'll be holding Selah and then she will look up at me and open her mouth big and wide, and lean into my face and plant a big slobbery kiss on me. Although she hasn't quite got the hang of it yet it is still cute. Her attempted kisses and hugs just warm my heart.
In other news...as you know she can do a complete roll, well now her mission is to see how fast she can roll across the floor before I catch her. She is very curious, and when the time comes for her to walk she will take off running.
I have a thought on children and babies. How can anyone not like children? I've always enjoyed being around children, but since we've had Selah she just completely lights up our lives. Not just in our family, but our church family as well. I can't help but smile at the thought of her and feel so proud to be her mommy. I feel so giddy just watching and listening to her. After losing our first baby, Dan and I understand just how much of a miracle Selah is. God chose her to be the one to make it and has blessed us immensely with her life. Her name, Selah Joyce, means Peace and Joy, and that is exactly what she is to us. Thank you God for my precious baby girl!
