4 Months Old

My little sweetie, Halle, turned 4 months old on Saturday the 20th. I can't believe she's already 4 months old. It feels like an eternity and like it's been just a day.

I took her in for her 4 month check up yesterday. It went well. The first thing the dr said was, "Well, I can see she's not starving!" True, true... He said if there were such thing as being in the 100%, she'd be there. She is in the 95% for her weight. She weighed 16 lbs. 2 oz. That little chunk, I just love her so much!

She rolled over for the first time the day before she turned 4 months old. Of course I missed it. Josh and I were at an Elder's Quorum party on Friday night and my Mom was down here visiting, watching the girls and she did it then.... 3 times! Are you kidding me? Naturally, it was while I was gone.

What I Cannot Change

A dear friend of mine sent me the youtube video to the song by LeAnn Rimes, "What I Cannot Change". It really hit me. The words really hit home for me, for certain reasons and because of certain things that are taking place in my life. I wanted to share the lyrics.

"WHAT I CANNOT CHANGE"

I know what makes me comfortable

I know what makes me tick
And when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day and pray to God I won't make the same mistakes
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

I don't know my Father
Or my Mother well enough
Seems like every time we talk we can't get past the little stuff
The pain is self inflicted
I know it's not good for my health
But it's easier to please the world than it is to please myself
Oh the rest is out of my hands

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Right now I can't care about how everyone else will feel
I have enough hurt of my own to heal

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can
