Ups and Downs

Yesterday was a pretty trying day for us. Audrey went the whole day without a nap, insisted on being held all day, cried nonstop all evening and did not go down for the night until 2 a.m. However, even in the worst of days, God blesses us by reminding us what a gift Audrey is. During a short half hour window yesterday Audrey seemed to discover those objects we keep dangling in front of her. She actually began reaching for a few toys and even tested a few out by mouthing them. Before she has just flailed her arms about, so it was rewarding to see her make a connection and move her arms with a purpose. I thank God that I can keep this as a memory for what yesterday was, rather than merely an exhausting day with a crying baby.
