February began with our family taking a much needed trip to Florida. There was much stress going into the trip for me as it was Leighton’s first time on an airplane. He did just fine… I think we learned that he enjoys traveling to new places (and that mom should relax). He swam in a pool and put his toes in the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. We walked the beach, watched the sun set and visited with Great Grandma every day. Meanwhile back at home it snowed. Yikes! He is nine months old… such a big boy! He is getting his first tooth (lower front), says ma ma ma and da da da. I look at those first few photos I have of him when he was just hours old and marvel at how fast he has grown. God must love us dearly to send us such a precious boy. Leighton reminds us daily to be so grateful to our heavenly Father for all we have.
