mackinley is one month old today!!! i can't believe it!! time really flies by because it seems like yesterday that i was bringing him home from the hospital. this month has been such a wonderful one! it is amazing how i can see mackinley growing a little bigger each day! each day he seems to get a little taller, a little chubbier (haha), he makes more and more cute baby noises, and his face looks less like that squishy newborn face (which was still cute) and more like an adorable infant face! i was telling my dad how part of me is super excited to see mack learning how to do new things like coo and sit up by himself and roll over and yet another part of me feels sad that he is growing older each day; i know the days will fly by so quickly and before i know it he'll be crawling and walking and talking! but i try and take the time each day to just sit and admire the wonderful little boy that God has blessed me with.
He is such a precious child, but seriously sweetheart get your child support or lock your ex ass up! He needs to take responsibility at least for your son's sake. Keep your head up!! Praying for ya!
ReplyDeletekate- as you know I grew up without a dad... and sometimes i wished i had a dad in my life, but in the grand scheme of things, i am far more thankful that my mom made some tough decisions and protected me from men who weren't ready to step up to the plate as a father.
ReplyDeleteyou are blessed to have a really dedicated and engaged father, and mack is blessed to have a wonderful grandpa! it's so easy to focus on what we don't have, but then we forget to celebrate and praise God for what He has provided us with! He has provided mack with a great male role model in your dad... and at least two examples of a great mom in yourself and your mom!
in the end i think what matters most is that your wonderful little man come to know his true Father in Christ! the only dad that will never let you down. praying for you through these moments and lifting you up in the hope we have in God.
love you guys!
