How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard

From the lips of babes...



Matthew 21:16b
"..'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise?'"

The cooing of babies is absolutely infectious. It is one of my top 10 favorite sounds, the new little voices of babes. It's so sweet to see their eyes light up, their mouths open wide, and noise emmerge, a victory for them..one step closer to finding their words, the realization that they can speak, amazing! Gram loves to talk. He not only loves to talk to Dustin and I, but weirdly enough, he loves to talk to our living room curtains. I have yet to get this on video, but I will try the next time it happens. In fact, often at 4am when he can't get back to sleep it's because he's distracted by our living room curtains and the conversation he feels he needs to have with them right then and there. He also loves to talk to lights, any light will do, but especially our kitchen light and clocks. He's got a thing for numbers already, just like me!! Him talking to curtains and lights is a bit weird sometimes that we wonder if he's seeing something that we're not. If in his innocence he sees something in the spiritual realm that we can't. I wonder if God hears his coos and grunts and understands, if He's communicating back through lights and curtains. I wonder if Gram can see God in his surroundings more than we can because he doesn't have the distractions and worry and stress like we do. His attention can be so focused sometimes on something seemingly so simple, I wish I would slow down and take the time to do the same. To praise God for the sunshine and dirt, the wind and rain, the beauty of people and redemption he provides every day.

I'm so thankful we are part of a community with tons of babies because I get to hear all their voices, their coos of affection and excitement. Here's a pic of Everett Vaughn and Etta Leonardo, two of Gram's very best friends. Etta has already started to coo and it's such a sweet, sweet sound. From the lips of babes God will be praised!
