Azariah's New Endeavors

  
Today Azariah crawled forward for the first time. Over the course of these past few weeks it has been such a joy to watch him develop and learn so many new things. It seems that his strength has doubled along with his curiosity and probably also the number of times he wakes up at night. I read in a Dr. Sears book that often times when babies learn a new trick, they wake up during there light sleep (which occurs nearly every hour and a half) to practice. Other then that, we're getting used to his smile filled with teeth, his developing mobility, parenting in the middle of the night, and refraining from sticking our fingers in his mouth (Ouch). On Monday, Joshua watched Azariah grab onto the top rail of his crib and pull himself up to his knees. Yikes! Today I lowered the mattress:) We love nearly every second that God is gracious to give us with our son, and hope that he allows us many more years of being parents. 

Tomorrow Linda and Molli (Joshua's mom and sister) will be coming into town. We're so excited to visit, but even more share in the joys that Azariah brings to our daily lives.
