We have had a few big things happen over the past couple of weeks, good and bad. Last week Lincoln made a huge step... literally! He took his first steps two Wednesday's ago and has be working on it ever since. He'll take about 3-4 steps at the most, usually only a couple and he is very pleased with himself!! He is a toddler! Lincoln has also been working on feeding himself with a spoon. We have done finger food for a long time in an attempt to avoid the mess of more liquid, spoon necessary foods but I finally gave up and let the kid catapult yogurt all over. He does amazing with a spoon actually. It has been rather messy but he is catching on like a pro! He is also getting new teeth and they have really been giving him fits, again literally. We have had tantrums; throw down, limp, back arching tantrums in the Harris house and believe me we are working on it :0)
Sadly, another big thing that happened in the Harris family was the death of Levi's beloved grandma Mamie. She passed yesterday morning after living 95 years! Since becoming a part of the family almost four years ago I had grown very fond of Mamie and Bud who passed last year. It warmed my heart SO MUCH to think about Mamie being reunited with Bud in perfect health up in heaven yesterday morning. Levi and I took Lincoln to visit grandma one last time on Thursday and that woman managed to uphold her grace, beauty and amazing zest for life until the very end. She will be dearly missed! This is a picture from a visit we had in March of Mamie and Linc;
We are gearing up for Thanksgiving next week and boy do we have so much to be thankful for! Thankful for our wonderful family, for the 95 years that God gave Mamie to impact this Earth and for an amazing Savior who blesses us above and beyond what we truly deserve. I am SO thankful, so very thankful!!
