It's been a real pleasure to be able to babysit my granddaughter, Harmony, the past two weekends. I've had such a good time getting to know her for the little person she is. There's nothing more inspiring to watch a baby develop and grow into their own little individual personality. They're just such little blank slates, full of potential and possibilities...and it's so sweet and touching to be able to view and experience that innocence first-hand before the world starts corrupting it. Such a blessing from God...
Yesterday was the first time I was able to take her to church with me. I am not often able to go myself, because I'm usually out of town with Tex, but she was such a little angel all day, even with everything that was going on around her, and all the unfamiliar people (even if it was family) wanting to hold her and cuddle her. But she was awake and alert through most of it, and never even fussed. I didn't take her to the nursery, preferring to sit on the back row with the family instead, and had lots of help with her during the service. It was a really great time, and I felt good knowing that Ian and Krystal were getting a much needed break.
Our little girl is growing up so fast...she's almost 12 pounds already, and is getting too big to wear her clothes, so we're moving her into the next size. She's already 8 weeks old...I can't believe time has flown by so fast! There's a part of me that wishes that I could slow it down...at least for this part. Let her be small and trusting and innocent for just a while longer before she has to grow up and face reality. It will be here all too soon as it is...
