November Rocks My Socks

November was an amazing month. Caleb started walking! Cozmo has been getting more attention than ever, not necessarily good attention... but attention!
Caleb can maneuver his walker all over the place. It is no longer an aid to his walking. It is now a tool of destruction. In a funny way. We love watching him with it!
Sweet face.
And another sweet face... well sometimes they share toys... :)

Caleb has been making major progress with his walking. He's been so excited about it and enjoying all his new options! The first video below is of about a week ago, and the second video is from today. He is hilarious! Enjoy his huge laughter.

Caleb has also been learning sign language. It is so cute and so much fun to communicate with him!

Guess what happened the day before Caleb turned 10 months old?...

Okay, one rule. If you want to comment, you cannot say anything negative like, "You're life is over now!" or, "Now you're gonna have trouble!" or, "That sucks Danielle. Motherhood sucks." :) Ok? Ok.

Enjoy!!! This was one of my proudest moments of my life.

Happiness!

I have gratefully realized through all the new experiences I have had these past 10 months with Caleb, plus the 9 months I was pregnant with Caleb, that happiness is not something that God just GIVES you. He does give you all the opportunities he sees that you need, all the blessings, all the trials. Then he gives you free agency, and the rest is up to you.


That's my main point. Your happiness is up to you. It's all in a good attitude. Since I have figured this out, I have felt a HUGE relief. I can control this! I can have a good attitude, I just need to choose to do so. In the words of Maren Ord:

"Open your eyes, take my hand, Take a look at where you stand, It's not that hard, just take a step back my friend, And see this world We're living in, it's beautiful...life is beautiful."
