Milestones

Looking cute in her Purple Dress she wore to Church today!

Do you think Jailyn likes to have her picture taken with Mommy?
Happy after eating lunch.
Today Mike and I finally went back to church as a family.   We were advised to not attend for at least 6 months and knew we needed to get back in the routine as we so need to go and worship.  Well 8 months have pasted and we have attended mass at St. I's twice and it just does not work with Jailyn in the service.  So we attended White Oak Christian Church today and Jailyn went in the nursery all by herself with no tears, no distress, and us leaving her did not phase her at all.  She was so happy to be with other toddlers and to play.  The workers at White Oak were tremendous with her and understood our situation with never leaving her with others she did not know and the attachment and abandonment was not an issue.  Woohoo!!!!  Our happy little girl had a great time and did not want to leave and one of the preteens in the room said she was one of the good ones.  So we have a church where Jailyn can be in a thriving Christian environment with other children and Mike and I attended the contemporary service and enjoyed it being together to worship.  I on the other hand was the emotional one and got teary-eyed as we walked to the sanctuary and she was okay.   My eyes welled up with praise during the songs and knew this is were we needed to be.    It felt like home and Jailyn looked so cute in her little purple dress.  Momma left her baby girl who is so well adjusted and thriving more than we ever dreamed after only 8 months.  We are so blessed and serve an awesome GOD and could have never imagined this plan for us.  My heart is overflowing with joy and blessing as she is growing up.  See her pictures after church in her cute outfit she wore to church.
So looking forward to all the fun she will have in the nursery, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School .....

The minister Rick, is our old minister from FFC. We love him, my daughter misses him dearly. That is great she did so good. It is good to be going back to church as a family.
