Bubbly Baths and Sweet Songs.

Tonight as I was giving Jayden a bath I started thinking how I never want to take these moments for granted. He was kicking and splashing in the water, trying to sink down so he could turn his head enough so he can drink the water, and laughing the whole time. He has always loved bath time (except for the very first one). Now he splashes so much the water is nearly gone before I even drain the tub. It is a time I love to spend with him though. I time to relax and wash all the worries of the day down the drain. I never want to forget how special these times are to me. Bring on Bubbly Bath Time.

Trying to drink the water.

Squeaky clean!

Jayden is pretty much spoiled to being rocked to sleep. He does put himself to sleep at nap times during the day but something about night- he just wants to be held. I used to be very against this-- but recently I have just been thinking how fast he is growing. He is going to be 4 months old Monday! There will come a day that he doesn't need me or want me to help him go to sleep. He will not need or want me to sing to him at night. I enjoy every night singing and rocking. It is such a bonding time for us- something I never want to forget or take for granted.

This is our bedtime song. I sing it to him every night. It is true and I am excited to see what God has in store for Jayden Lane Akins. He is such a blessing to us.

"Be strong in the Lord, never give up hope.

You're gonna do great things, I already know.

God's got His hand on you, so don't live life in fear.

Forgive and forget, but don't forget why you're here.

Take your time and pray, thank God for each day,
His love will find a way, these are the words I would say."

--Sidewalk Prophets "The Words I Would Say"

I could stare at him all day!

Thank you Lord for my baby boy, Jayden. You have blessed us abundantly. Thank you so much!
