Amazing Feats of Strength

In the last 8 months of my son's life, he has amazed me with his strength and agility. He seems to be especially adept physically, even at his young age. My mom swears she saw him hold his head up and look around in the hospital nursery only moments after he was born. But what happened this morning simply amazed me (humor me, I'm his mom!)...

I put him in his high chair, clipped the tray on (or so I thought), and walked to the fridge to make his breakfast. I heard a "clatter" and turned around in time to see him kick the tray loose (apparently I didn't get it as secure as I thought). But what followed was simply astonishing. As the tray started to slide off the chair, my little Bam-Bam grabbed hold of the side and hung on--as it dangled from his little fist--until I made the mad dash across the kitchen to retrieve it! I'm thinking of training him to lift heavy furniture for me when I vacuum.

Of course now that I've astonished you all with the wonders of my youngest child, I feel a little weird posting the following article. It's an article that a friend sent me recently on how some parents are rethinking blogging about their children. It is a good article, and definitely something I think all bloggers should consider, so I will post the link below. However, I must admit I don't make $40,000 a month on my blog, so I don't in any way feel that I am "using" my children or selling them out. If I ever do make $40,000/month blogging, then I will rethink the whole thing (so stay tuned as I'm sure that's going to happen any day!). But for now, I really enjoy sharing the adorable moments that make me smile and laugh and say, "Thank you, God, for my children."
