Our sweet Martha is a month old.
She was just featured over on Sister Daughter Mother Wife so she’s pretty much famous now. You can read what I wrote about her over there if you’d like or stay here and read it:
Martha has been a great blessing to our family. In the few weeks that she has been with us her brothers and sisters are learning many things; how to take turns holding her, to share Mama’s lap and to be independent by helping themselves when Mama is busy. She also has given her siblings an opportunity to come to a peaceful agreement about just who she really likes. After some arguing, they amicably resolved that she in fact likes all of them. And Martha has provided her eldest sisters the chance to feel so grown up and proud when they carry her across the room or feed her her bottle. She gives her Mama and Daddy a long list of ways to show love to her and to one another. Her Mama is especially thankful that God has put her in our family to teach her to die to her own sinful desires and follow Christ who humbled Himself and became a servant for our sake so that we too might learn to serve and love others.
Her little face is starting to lose the newborn look and change into her baby face. I still see so much of Lily when I look at her but Esther and Clara are in there too.
We love you little baby!
Happy 1 month!
A month already! So beautiful.
I always love that little arm thing they do at this age.
