8 months old

This is my first post. I'm posting from LA (lower Alabama). Gulf Shores to be exact. Granddaddy grew up down here. They have kept a beachhouse all these years, and this is already my 2nd trip down! I may be only 8 months old, but that is old enough to know it is super cool to have a beachhouse in the family.

Mom is at some luncheon. At least that is what she said. Someone she knows is getting married tomorrow (that is why we are down here), and although I don't know who it is, my mom tells me that they love me. Come to think of it, everybody I meet seems to love me before they even have a chance to get to know me. Especially Jesus. Mom and dad are always telling me how much Jesus loves me. I think whoever that is loves me as much as mom and dad do. I haven't met Jesus yet.

I have been hanging out with my daddy all day long! We read books and sang songs and played with my toys. We put our matching sunglasses on and went down to the beach, but it was so windy we had to come inside. Sand was getting all over us. I ate squash, chicken and corn and then had some strawberries and bananas. But it is strange because mom and dad don't eat their strawberries and bananas with a spoon. Hmmm?

I am currently fighting against naptime, but I always lose this battle. I get so sleepy. But it is very painful to give in and fall asleep. I just feel like I am missing so much.

Anyway, I am learning little things here and there about this Jesus. My dad and I were listening to this preacher earlier and he was talking about Jesus. He was saying that Jesus was a Rabbi who had twelve disciples that followed him everywhere he went. He said that this guy Mark was trying to teach me about Jesus by teaching me how Jesus interacted with his disciples. Disciple means "learner." From the preacher I learned that I am not supposed to simply learn from what Jesus says or does although those things are very important. What is most important is that I learn who Jesus is. I am anxious to do this. I sure hope I meet him soon.

Well I am going to give up my fight now. Naptime. See you soon.
