Our Sweet Michayla

I thank the Lord for our sweet Sharon Michayla! This week she turned 18 months (the day after Gaggy`s birthday). For us, that meant it was time for her shots which wasn`t fun at all, but it is amazing to see how fast time has flown and how much she has developed! She is looking and acting more like a little girl and less like a baby. This week she has been busy putting two words together!  She has been saying things like Mommy`s shoes, Mommy`s towel, Mommy`s sleeping, Mommy`s shirt, Mommy`s girl,  airplane up, Hola Papi, and Tia Shoy. It has been so exciting to see her language skills develop. I still can`t get over what a blessing it is to have a child! Michayla has been talking a lot about Jesus recently. We think she is trying to figure out who He is. She starts saying Jesus any time we sing, pray, go to church or read her Bible and certain books she has that talk about Him. We pray that as her understanding grows, she will know Him and love Him at a very young age. She still loves music and has been asking Papa to get his guitar out a lot recently and asks us to sing for her regularly. She loves Rey de Rey (a song we grew up singing in English, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Glory, Hallelujah!). She has also been very interested in caterpillars, spiders, and butterflies, and she thinks the name "Burger King" is the funniest name in the world. She seems to love the baby in Mommy`s belly (or at least Mommy`s belly if nothing else) and asks regularly to touch the baby, giving him lots of kisses and telling him she loves him. She also loves to have "crema" put on her bug bites, because the bug bites "pica". It has been interesting seeing her personality come out! She pays great attention to detail and runs to get Papa his shirt, socks and shoes everyday when he gets up. She makes sure we ALL have our shoes with us all day long for that matter! Life is never boring with a toddler, that`s for sure!! We are thankful for the adventure of being her parents and pray the Lord gives us wisdom to walk her in His ways.
