What are we gonna call her?
A few funny things Deacon has said over the past 24 hours, just to remember where we are...
"Mama, now that baby Fef is getting bigger, what are we gonna call her?
"What do you mean, D?"
"Are we still gonna call her baby Fef or are we gonna call her big girl baby Fef?"
"Well, I'll probably just call her Faith Clare, but you can call her any of those!"
"Yeah, I think I'm gonna call her either Fef Cuar OR big girl baby Fef... she IS getting bigger you know!?"
"Deacon, I'm gonna call Ita, do you want to talk to her?"- (Ita is Dusty's mom's "grandma" name)
"Why you gonna call Ita? She's not your son... she is Daddy's!"
Oh, and how could I forget this one!
"Mama, do all big girls wear undies like that?" (referring to my less-than-full-covering bottoms). A-w-e-s-o-m-e! No more being in my room when I'm getting dressed buddy!
And one that could lead down SO many interesting roads in the future... just a few minutes ago he asked, "So mama, how did God put us together?" Sweet boy... asking so many questions. Lord, give me wisdom!!
I pray that I will always speak with wisdom, and that faithful instruction will be on my tongue. (Proverbs 31:26)

Rebekah and her girls!
Thank you, Have a blessed night.
Looking forward to following your precious family as you enjoy this new season of life and rediscover Gods purposes for your life. God Bless you as you treasure those fun little moments.
One of my favs from my kids is being asked "What today is it, Mom?" and then "What doin?" for the day's schedule. I cry when I hear their little voices on video tapes. Yes, I am a grandmother (an adorable 19 m.o. little guy, otherwise they would be on DVD, right? Ha!
Now I watch videos of him on YouTube and we Skype. Who knew?
Yes, you're right- she was having lots of digestive issues. We even went to a pedi gastroenterologist and they also recommended the probiotics. Our brand is called Baby Jarro-dophilus and it is specifically for babies through 4. It is in a powder form and I tried several different ways of giving it to her (mixing it with breastmilk in a bottle until she started refusing the bottle- UGH!, mixing it with formula) but what has worked best in mixing it with a little bit of warm water and giving it to her in a syringe. I'm not sure where you live but we bought ours at Whole Foods... I hear they also sell it at HEB and Central Market.
GOOD LUCK! It is miserable to have a baby with tummy issues.
Kenzie I also want you to know how much you helped me when we were going thru the loss of our 40 day old grandson. My daughter had twins at 26 weeks, Carson and Cooper. They were both born with numerous problems, heart, breathing, crainal bleeds you name it. Dear sweet Cooper lived 40 days and amazed the doctors of his strength but his hills were just to many to conquer. t was and still is the sadest day of my life and to watch my daughter hold her baby and tell him he does not have to fight anymore was heartbreaking. But that night they put them together and we all knew something special happend. From that day Carson never looked back and amazed the doctors with his progress. He went home 90 days later on no meds, no heart machine,and no breathing monitor. He is two today and continues to amaze everyone.
Just this April she gave birth to another boy and his time of birth was 4:11AM now what is weird is that Carson and Cooper were born, April 11, (4-11). What are the odds of Brooks being born at 4:11 and the twins birthday 4-11. I truly believe it was a sign from Cooper and Brooks is almost a carbon copy of Cooper.
I do believe people pray for miracles and dream of angles and we had both.
So thank you for helping us with a fussy baby and dealing with the loss of a baby. Your writing truly helped me many days as what you were writing was exactly what I was feeling. You are an insperation.
