Sweetpea is also being dubbed Doodlebug because of her high energy level nowdays. She is extremely active and especially at church. Jessie enjoys Sunday School nursery class with Mrs Denise Johnson and Mrs.Leesa Wood. They are so great with her and the other little ones as they also teach at the Berry's Chapel preschool. Jessie goes into the auditorium with me and Larry on Sunday nights. She always loves to walk holding onto the back of the pew and smile at everyone in the back of service. Thre always seems to be someone that returns her smile and picks up a game of peek-a-boo. She made her way to Mike Newton's arms and enjoyed sitting in his lap for the last half of service. I couldn't tell who had the better time of them. Mike and Jeannie have two great Christian teenagers they adore, but aren't quite ready for grandchildren. They had me and Larry over for dinner a few years ago and shared alot with us about how having children was
wonderful. They painted a very realistic picture and gave us a lot of encouragement of raising them in the world, but not of the world. Thanks to them for talking with us. It sure is neat to look back and see how God can work through others.
I don't know if I had mentioned before how Jessie loves the water. (So much so that she will splash her hands in the toilet) Larry and I try to keep all the lids down and bathroom doors shut. If she does join me she is content to make a toy out of anything. She'll pull the toilet paper and be so delighted. She then proceeds to shred one square into hundreds of little pieces. I don't mind as long as she doesn't try to supplement her diet.
We took her for a stroller ride last night and she just kicked back watching everything with crossed ankles. Here bedtime seems to be getting later and later because she'll nurse in the den rocker and then get down to play. Larry and I put her down to bed at 7:30 instead of her 9:00 chosen time. She cried (hollered) for 15 min and then silent slumber occurred. SMILE Larry worked on our DVD player for the camper and I worked on her birthday party supplies. We all rested quite well.
Jessie is starting to get the concept of a sippie cup after 2 months of practice. YEAH! Next Thursday she turns one and the pediatrician says that whole milk comes in a sippie cup --not a bottle. I 'll still nurse her at bedtime for a little longer, but not during the day. Hope all goes well. She has gotten to where she does a complete 360 turn on my lapwhile trying to nurse. She just doesn't want to miss a thing. Hmmm---kinda sounds like someone else!
The invitations have been sent out for her Big Birthday Party! Larry and I are so excited that our lil' Sweetpea is turning one. WOW !! God has blessed us tremendously. We thank Him everyday. Hope everyone is as excited as we are and will attend.
Love,
Holly
