All praise and glory to Jesus for reaching this milestone!

Dana's Dedication

Gosh, this was such and emotional day for Paul and I. It was an awesome feeling filled with lots of fear and reverance to dedicate Dana to the Lord Jesus and make the decision to raise her up in the ways of God and that one day she will too walk in the destiny and plans God has called her for. What a responsibility as parents, but we are confident that The Holy Spirit will be with us each day and guide us with wisdom and grace to fulfill this task. We were so blessed and our Pastor had a Word for Dana, while they were blessing her and laying hands, he said she is a fighter and will be an arrow of deliverance in the Kingdom, even in her short time on earth she has already placed strategic arrows, gosh that really got me going with the floods of tears...lol
Here are some pictures of the day.

Motherhood is wonderful!

I know it has been a long time since I have posted. Probably 3 months ago so please forgive me. As my caption has read that mommyhood is great, it also keeps you very occupied...lol! But from now onwards there are no excuses, I promise. Dana is such a cute baby phase now, let me share her milestones with you.

• She started lifting her head at 2 weeks off my chest.
• She smiled for the first time at mommy at 3 and a half weeks.
• She can sit supported in a seat.
• She coos and semi-laughs.
• She grabs at her toys in the playgym.
• She opens and closes her hand very well.
• She is now eating her hands and bibs and starting to dribble all over.
• She loves to socialise with people
• She loves to stand on my legs and pushes down very strongly.

When you look at the miracle of a child you just see the Fathers love in the creation all the time. Her perfectly framed body with tiny fingers and toes. To be blessed to be a mother is extrodinary. I cant thank God enough each day for Dana, my miracle child. She now sleeps practically through the night! One of my most proud priveleges is being able to breastfeed her uptil now. Its a such a wonderful bonding experience that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside.

Here are some updated pictures of her, and since I have not updated I will start at 3 weeks till now.
