Athaiah-9 mo

Where has time gone? I can't believe you are 9 months old already.  You are such a "big woman" as daddy always says. 
All the things you can do, I never imagined they would happen this soon. 
You can scoot all over and have attempted crawling on all fours. 
You have 2 teeth and are working on 2 more.
You smile and giggle, coo, and grunt, say mama, dadda, ba, and na. 
We have so much fun listening to you babble and yell.
You are such a little girl always squealing with delight, wheither it be day or night! 
You love to play cars, farm, and baby dolls.  
You have a sweet smile, and it makes everything so worth while.
You can't sit still, not even for a minute, and if something is within your reach you will surely be in it.
You have finally learned how to take a sippy cup.
You love to play and splash, with your big brother, in the bath.
You look at the world with wonder and amazement.
You are mommy's sweet girl who loves to snuggle, hug and give big kisses too.
I love you baby girl, please don't grow up too soon!

Resolutions

I'm not usually a huge fan of resolutions, but I decided to make a few for this year.  They are my goals for this year.  I'm hoping I can look back next January and say that I accomplished all or most of them.

1. Be more organized-specifically in my home(some areas are a mess)
2. Be more intentional about my Quiet Time
3. Memorize a verse every 2 weeks (Thanks to my wonderful sister-in-love for this one!)
4. Be intentional in the way that we raise our children-use scripture to back up everything: also be a more intentional wife-do the little things he appreciates
5. Read to my children daily (I often forget this part and Elijah loves to read)
6. Teach my children EVERYTHING, and have patience in the process(everything meaning more like let them help me with whatever I am doing or observe so they may learn)
7. Finish the house(Bathroom, Laundry room, new doors, any finishing touches)
8. Have baby #3(that one should be easy...relatively speaking, due in June!)
9. Have a get away with my husband (haven't had one since our honeymoon and this year will be our 5th anniversary), Can I just say I never would have thought that before we hit our 5 year anniversary that we would have already added 3 little people to our family?!?! How exciting!
10. Stop and smell the roses, don't always be in such a hurry
11. Exercise daily (I miss my daily walks with the kiddos, once this snow melts we need to get out again)
12. Be a better with managing the time I have
13. Set a budget and stick with it! (I'm not good in the food dept, always going over since I like to cook)
14.  Plan meals ahead of time to help save money
15. Pay off at least 1 bill this year! (I'm going for medical, or my school loan if possible)

Well that is it, I probably have more, but these are the ones that are most important to me.  Now I shall sit down with my husband this weekend and see how we can plan for all these!
