A quick update for those who follow-
I can't believe Joshua is 9 months! So here's what's been happening. Basically as soon as he attempted to crawl, he also pulled himself up to standing. By 7 months he stood on his own, couch surfed (walking holding on to the couch), and took his first step unassisted! By 8 months he took a few steps without holding! Now at 9 months he's been walking pretty much like any walking toddler would for at least a few weeks. I'm amazed still at such a strong boy coming from such a weak mama, but God is good!
With that persistence and determination though comes his very strong will in all things. Oh how this boy likes to get his way already and if he doesn't he will certainly let you know!
He loves his daddy, like so so so so so much! I have no doubt I'm second on his list but when I do get those hugs, the world stops, how amazing.
He has been eating table food since 6 months, and now has 5 teeth. But the table food has been put on a pause as he got very sick for the first time. It was horrible and I froze not knowing what to do for the poor little guy. We're still trying to figure out exactly what might be wrong with his stomach so pray for that if you would please.
As for me, keep me in prayer also. I literally cannot go a single day without being bit by something. The bugs here of all kinds are worse than anything I've experienced anywhere else. And I'm pretty sure I give off some scent that says "all bugs please come and attack me."
Really though I believe it's the devil- the devil is trying to take us down in all sorts of ways and it's been tough for a number of reasons. Please pray for Jesus to be our strength through any trial that comes our way.
Thank you!
