another year older, another month older :)

i'm so excited to say that my sweet baby boy is now 3 months old! time flies by so quickly! mackinley is pretty much adjusted to his braces for his feet, but he loves when i take them off for bath time! and he absolutely loves the bath! he cries when i turn the water off and he has to get out of the tub haha. he is too big to lie down in the little baby bath tub so he has a little cushion for the regular bath tub. i have to get him weighed and measured again at the doctors, but i'm pretty sure he's over 13 lbs and 23 inches long! he loves to move and wants to be a part of everything haha. mackinley likes to watch TV now, especially his baby einstein! and he's learning to roll over already! he hasn't rolled over fully by himself, but he's definitely getting there! :)

another big occasion from this week was that on thursday (march 8th) i turned 20! my family all said, "wow! you're getting so old!" and my co-workers all said, "wow! you're so young!" haha. at work my boss gave me flowers and cookie cake which was so sweet of her! and my co-worker and birthday buddy (her birthday was the day before mine) abby brought me cookies :) after work i enjoyed time with family! my aunt and cousin came over as well as my great aunt. it was nice to just relax and spend time with my family for  my birthday :)

last post i ended with talking about a song that i enjoy listening to, so i thought that i would try and do that at the end of every post. the song that i wanna share today is called "Savior, Please" by Josh Wilson. i really love this song because i can relate to it; i think that a lot of people can relate to it. i find myself singing this song as a prayer to God. the chorus says, "I try to be so tough, But I'm just not strong enough. I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me. I try to be good enough, But I'm nothing without Your love. Savior, please keep saving me"; there are so many times when i try to seem like i am so tough, despite everything i've been through and its sometimes its too difficult and i need to ask God to help me from falling apart. i know i have to be strong, not only for myself, but for my son especially, so i am constantly asking God for the strength to make through each day and to be the best that i can be. so i hope by sharing this song that if you are going through a tough time, having a bad day, whatever it may be, that when you feel like you aren't strong enough to know that you don't have to be strong enough because God is strong enough. God tells us in Matthew 11:28-30,"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light";we can rely on God to get us through those difficult times.
