"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Eight Months Old....

Eight months came so fast. too fast.
I actually thought the other day that you were only 6 months old and it shocked me when I remembered you were actually 8 months not 6.
I just want you to stay little forever and ever...it breaks my heart every mile stone you get too...yet it is so amazing to see you learn all these new things!

You started sitting up a few weeks before you turned 8 months old and I was SOOO HAPPY cause i was really wanting you to be able to sit up for Christmas to open your
presents all by your self...YOU DID IT. I was so thrilled!
It has been really fun to watch you grow and learn all these new little things in life. it truly it amazing how fast a baby learns, think about all the things you have to learn
and then think about how fast you learn them...not knowing how to talk yet you just figure them out.

You are so loved in this house. I cant even put into words how much you mean to me and how much I just love you. You are my world.

This month you sat up and you even started to crawl just a week after you learn to sit up...thats amazing....you learn one thing and its off to the next.
you are about 18 or 19 pounds now!
you LOVE and i mean LOVE mickey mouse club house...your face light up with a huge smile when you hear it come on and your eyes are glued to it!
you said mama the other day while you were in your bed crying for me to get you out...i think it was a fluk but i will take it!!!

You are STILL so spoiled...you still have to sleep right by me...something i said i would never do again BUT you're just too cute and i want to snuggle you
as long as i possibly can.

I hope though soon you will get to liking your own room and we both can get some better sleep but until then I will just keep getting my snuggles in with you!

Karbon you are our whole world, we love you and have such high hopes for you in this life. I hope all the very best for you!

we love you so much!!



good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
