So Jeremy has nicknamed Faith "thumper." She is doing something funny I've never seen another baby do. In her bed she will pull her feet up (like she does when she plays with them) and then slam them down like a wrestler slams his oponent to the mat. She does it so hard it makes a loud thumping noise. When we are in our family room in the basement at night you can hear her thumping about if she happens to wake up. So we will see if the nickname sticks.
Mostly she does it when she is fighting going back to sleep. Why is it the more tired a child gets the harder they fight sleep? My child can be an expert in the fight against sleep. (especially now that we are pre-teething) But isn't that how I am with God. Sometimes the thing I need the most is what I fight the hardest... like humility, confession, waiting and the fruits of the spirit to name a few. We are really trying to focus on the fruits of the spirit in our home right now. I feel like God is saying- If your kids don't teach you to be patient, gentle, & joyful you will never learn! (And sometimes I'm not convinced I really want to learn patience) These are the three I'm really working on right now. So what lesson from God are you fighting against?

Addy used to do the "thumping" too! We would lay in bed in the morning and just crack up! I'm enjoying this glimpse into your life. I miss you!
