Katy Bug is 6 Months Old


I can not believe that my baby girl is already half-way to being a year old. I must say that she is GORGEOUS and has such an amazing personality, demanding at times, but amazing nonetheless. Just a few things Katy is doing at the moment(my friend Rebekah has been documenting her baby Gracie's milestones, so I am going to copy her idea!! Thanks Rebekah! :)

- She already loves to sing. When I am singing her favorite lullabies as I rock her gently to sleep at night, she hums along, showing me that she has a love for music even now! I love to listen to her sweet voice, and know that I will always be her biggest fan!

- She is enamored with her big brother. Tyler can do or say anything and Katy is in stitches, thrilled to pieces that her brother has acknowledged her presence. Tyler is SUCH a good big brother. He kisses her for no reason throughout the day, just to love on her. They play so well together and I can not wait to see what the future holds for them. Their relationship reminds me of my relationship with my brother Evan. He was my best friend and I adored him!! We were inseperable as kids and rarely fought...I pray the same for Tyler and Katy.

- She is sitting up and attempting to crawl. Her crawl usually becomes a roll because she gets so frustrated with the effort required to scoot across the carpet. The child can get from Point A to Point B in no time flat rolling though...it's kind of scary. We are definitely transitioning into a new, mobile stage in the Mullins household which means it's time to start babyproofing again. :)

- She is a HAPPY girl. When Katy Bug smiles, the entire room lights up because she smiles with her whole face. She is so easy-going and fun-loving, unless she is hungry of course. If she is hungry, all bets are off. A few of the things that make her happiest are: water(she loves swimming), family(she likes familiar faces to be close at all times), silky blankets, the dogs, and DADDY(she is definitely going to be a daddy's girl.

- She is getting teeth. This little chomper is a teething maniac. I wouldn't be surprised if she had all of her teeth before she is a year old. Makes for some restless nights, but she looks so cute with her pearly whites!!

- Last little tidbit I will share. For the most part, Katy Bug appears to be a little prissy, very lady-like. She already likes to pick out her own outfits(seriously, we walk into the closet together and she reaches for what she wants to wear for the day). Her mannerisms are very dainty and proper. But, her most recent fascination has been with making raspberries with her mouth. When she does gets going, it sounds like someone is really struggling with some bad gas!! And, she is so proud of her newfound talent!! The other day, she said dada, and then immediately made her tooting noise. I think that she already knows who has the gas in our family.

Time has flown by and I try so hard to take in every precious minute of her life. My friend and mentor Michelle reminded me last week that this moment is all we are granted, and that we have to make the most of this life God has blessed us with. Watching Katy Bug grow keeps me on my knees with gratitude and seeking wisdom. I want to be the best mom that I can be to her and Tyler. They are amazing children and I want to walk them down the path of righteousness towards their Father who loves them even more than I ever could!!

Hello My Name is Jamie- Part 4

The day that I made the decision to sit down and begin my moral inventory, will forever be etched into my heart. It was a cold and dreary winter day, much like the state of my spirit. In all honesty, I was DREADING the task at hand. Who in their right mind would want to make an account of every painful memory from the past as well as every sin committed against others?!?! As I sat down at a Starbucks with my favorite flavored coffee beverage in hand, I began praying Psalm 129:23, “Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and discover…if there is any evil in me and guide me in the everlasting way.” I knew that there was pain from my childhood buried so deep that only He would have the power to bring to the surfaces. For so long, I had masked and/or stuffed the wounds in my life, rather than allowing Him to heal them. Within minutes of my prayer, the memories came pouring down like the rain I could hear outside. Just a little side-note, if you ever decide to take a painful j...

Hello my Name is Jamie- Part 2

I hesitantly signed up to attend a 12 Step Recovery Study with a group of women I had never met. Unfortunately, I had pre-judged Celebrate Recovery and the type of people who attended it. I assumed(never a good thing to do) that I was above the issues that required “recovery”. God used the first night with my step-sisters as the first chain in the link of breaking down my pride. I sat in a room of women who were able to verbalize all of things that I was feeling but didn’t know how to express. The Lord had lead me to a group of amazing, strong women who knew exactly where I was at, and loved me just the same. I wept in my car as I drove away from our first meeting because I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I had FINALLY found the place that would strip me of my character defects and draw me closer to the Lord. Until this point, I had lived my life in a cycle of insanity. Insanity has been defined as “doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result ea...

Perfection

This weekend I am in Louisiana visiting my little brother and his wife to celebrate his college graduation. We are staying in the city that holds some of my fondest memories of my life with Blake as well as a few from my high school days. Today I created another day of simple, but priceless memories in this city that still feels like home to me! The best part of the day began after my afternoon nap(yes, I am applying what I have learned from my previous post). The kids were a little restless with energy that needed to be expended as was I, so my brother took us to a new city park. Evan played with Tyler on the playground while my mom took Katy for a walk so I could go for a long bike ride. I was able to breathe in this environment that my heart at times aches for. Hundreds of trees danced above me singing about their Creator with the rustling of their leaves. Magnolia blossoms caught my nose and reminded me of the sweetness of my great-grandmother who treasured their scent as i...
