It’s so hard to believe that he’s six months old and is such a big boy now…but he is! It has been an amazing six months (and a tiring one!) and the changes we see in him daily are just out of this world. He’s really into feeling faces and other features to get a feel for the different textures. Watch out, he’s really good at ripping glasses off your face or grabbing whatever hair happens to be in arm’s length. Did we tell you the boy has a grip? Well, if anything…it’s stronger now than it was before! He’s also into kicking his legs and flapping his arms…he eats like a little eaglet so it’s only natural that he’d try to fly like one.
Little one, you’ve got to crawl before you walk…and walk before you fly! Trust me on this one…it’s nature’s rules! You’ll be doing all of those things soon enough and you’re free to do it when you’re ready and not a moment sooner.
Freedom is an amazing thing and it’s something that we have quite a bit of but as a society, I don’t think we really appreciate just how free we are in comparison to the rest of the world.
That freedom has a price and the ones who often pay that price so that we may live free are the brave men in women who have served or are currently serving their country in the armed forces. Today is the day we remember those who have come before us who have fought and sometimes died to defend the rights and freedoms we’ve come to enjoy these many years. It’s a good day to find a veteran and thank them for standing on the wall doing the job most people couldn’t or wouldn’t.
These brave men and women are heroes in the truest sense of the word in a time where we desperately need heroes and something to believe in… a greater calling to serve our community and our country. It is a noble thing to serve the needs of others and these people do it…and do it well.
So remember to thank them for helping defend the freedoms we have and enjoy!
