learning to walk

Learning to walk means we fall sometimes.

Learning to be mothers means we fall sometimes, too.

I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father’s strong arms that reach down and pick me up when I face-plant.

They carry, calm, and comfort me when I fall.

They make me feel safe enough to try again.

    Oh! Poor little, cute, adorable baby. He will learn to walk without face planting and you…are a a great mother.

    Thinking about you lady! I’m so glad you’re staying postive, strong and faithful through this time.

    Look at him Go!! How cute. Yes, we all face-plant every now and then but there is nothing like being lifted up afterwards….its a learning process, right?

    He is getting it. He will be running before you know it. Right now my two oldest are running laps around the kitchen. Isn’t mobility GREAT. :-)

    How precious is that! I can’t wait for my little guy to be tugging on our pantlegs walking around. Obaby is getting SO big!
    Praise Jesus for always having his arms outstreched to help us as we learn to walk and follow his lead!

    Precious video.
    I love how he hides his face in his daddy’s neck at the end. Beautiful.

    And yes, we all fall someitmes. And it hurts and it’s hard, but those comforting arms, and loving voices that help us get back up and try again, are amazing!!

    I Thought it was the cutest thing ever until the fall and then I Was sad. But then the cuteness was redeemed with the Daddy neck snuggle. Ovaries; twitching yet again. I AM NOT READY ALLISON, CUT IT OUT.

    So true! Obaby’s face was so cute when he was walking. You could just tell how proud of himself he was. I can’t believe how fast he’s growing up!!

    SO adorable! Obaby’s face whilst walking was beaming! Sad fall but cute neck snuggles. Great message, I tend to ‘faceplant’ far too often here lately. :)

    That is so cute! I’ve never seen a baby learn to walk like that. Good thing DanO’s tall. :)

    Awww, so cute! Wow, they grow up fast don’t they? It always makes me feel like crying when I see my babies, or even other peoples babies fall and get hurt! Once they get a little older it’s not so bad, as long as they don’t have any major injuries, but when they’re real little, it just breaks the heart and all you can do is snuggle, snuggle, snuggle and give lots of kisses.

    By the end of the video, I was crying too. He’s getting so big and so precious. I can’t wait to have my baby girl here.

    And thank you for the reminder.

    “…Learning to be mothers means we fall sometimes..” this sentence made me cry, it’s so true. Stay strong, even though at times we feel like a failure as a parent doesn’t mean we are.
