Yesterday we had a pool play date with 2 tennis friends. They have little ones around Noah's age and it was so cute having them all together. Nothing more precious than a bunch of babies in nothing but diapers (very hard to get them all looking at the camera). Noah is getting so close to crawling. He wants to follow around Jacob so bad and manages to move around eventually to where he wants to go, but is getting more and more coordinated each day. Wow- I can't believe he is 6 months old!!! This week has made me realize how tough is is being a parent. Especially as Jacob gets older, I feel the weight of how much responsibility it is to parent a child and discipline them and teach them all you want them to know. They are like little sponges and soak up all that is going on around them. You just want to protect them and expose them only to good things and always be a positive role model for them - but it is hard! It is hard to be the parent you want to be everyday all day. All you can do is the best you can. I pray that God helps me make good decisions as a parent and guides me in how He want me to raise them. And also that God will give me a sense of peace that it is ok to feel like you can't do it all as a parent and that being there for your child and loving them is most important.
