He loves me
by Sabrina Beasley
Today while driving in the car, I turned my rear view mirror to see if my son was doing okay in the back seat. It brought me so much pleasure just to see him sitting there—his smiles, stares, and other little facial expressions, the way he kicked his feet, the way he leaned in his car seat. It was a pleasure just to see him. I found myself smiling with delight and the warmth of love washing over me. Did he know how much I loved him just for being my son?
And then I wondered if this might be a glimpse of how my heavenly Father feels about me. What a profound peace to serve a God who not only calls me by name but also calls me His daughter, and finds His great pleasure in His love for me … and you, too.
Therefore, “Come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; and I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” says the Lord Almighty (2 Corinthians 6:17-18).

This time it was REALLY hard to get Creighton to sit still so we could take his picture. He wanted to turn around and grab the lamp or bend down to look at what was on the ground. It took me, Rachel and Dave all making noises and shaking rattles to get him to look at us!
and on top of that, my camera battery was dying, so this was the best we could get in the few seconds of battery power we had left.
But we successfully captured his big day of turning 9 months old! Can't believe he's been in my arms for longer than he was in my belly. What a little treasure : ) 
Look Mom, a fat lip!
But I'm tough! And I'm sure this will happen again as I get even more adventurous!
And here is an example of my adventurous spirit...I don't know how well you can see this, but I'm standing in my crib, playing with my aquarium...so much for nap time : )
at a bar right outside Wrigley
downtown Chicago
Just before the game!
we had lunch with Jessica and Cater Tigert...Oh goodness, Cater is just so stinking cute and Creighton really liked looking at her...flirts!
and then we went to Grandma's and Aunt Ashlie and Cousin Megan came over to play. Megan is such a helpful cousin and Creighton just LOVES her! 
Its kinda hard to tell here but the walls are a light green color and then the wall that his crib is on is a darker accent green. The pictures with the dresser and the window and the precious curtains Dee made came out terrible because of the lighting, so I just decided not to post those. And whats the point of taking a picture of the wall with the closet doors? Although there are some cute pictures on that wall...just come over and see the room in person!!!
Yes, the awful "ugly rocker" which we totally love!
Creighton wanted to show you his bookshelf, but as usual, he got distracted by the camera and had to pose with his cheeky smile! He's really happy to show a couple pictures of his room to you : ) and he would like you to come over and play ANY time!
