Half Way to Two...

Today, my precious son... you are 18 months old.
We are officially half way to your second birthday.
It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating your first.
You absolutely melt me heart each and every day and each morning I find that I love you more than I did the last.
And that's the truth.
I find new things about you to love each day.
It's amazing how much you're changing.
You're just amazing.
Today, on your half birthday, we had to go back to Vanderbilt for your EE check-up.
Even though it was just a check up, Mommy was still nervous.
I just want you to be well and to feel well.
Last night at church, Daddy and I went to the altar. You were in the nursery. We got on our knees and prayed for your appointment today.
As we were praying, Bro. Wayne told our church family that we were going back to Vanderbilt today. He told them that if they felt led, to come and pray with us.
I heard cracks and kreeks as people left their pews to pile in around your Daddy and I at the altar. I felt hands on my shoulders and back. Tears ran down my face.
They were there praying for you.
When the song leader began singing the next verse of the song, it sounded like he was singing a solo. No one was singing with him, because they were at the altar, raising your name before the Lord.
People love you man. They really do. I hope someday you realize how much.
Your appointment went well. The doctor was pleased with the progress that you have made since May. You are growing like a weed (You weigh 26 lbs 13 oz and are 33.25 inches long) and you are not getting sick as much. We still have our bad days, but the good far outweigh the bad. They always will as long as we have you...
Happy half birthday my precious son.
You are your Mommy's world.

So, so good to hear that the doctor is pleased with Jaxon's progress. I know that is a tremendous weight lifted. It's also a blessing to go to a church where people BELIEVE in the power of prayer...not just one where they talk about it. I'm thankful that I go to one of those churches also....where the altar is worn out from years of kneeling and that's been stained with many a tear.
