My heart sings...


Gritty mommy, smiley baby....when Brianne was a baby, she was a "gritty baby". This picture is evidence that the "gritty" continues on. She had a soft tiny doll we nicknamed, 'gritty baby", because when baby Brianne put it in her mouth she would bite down and pull so hard she would almost shudder. We still can't believe the head never came off, the doll head that is. Baby Lily is with out a doubt our smiley baby. To see an example of "gritty", watch Claire as she loves and grits on her baby smiley Lily. It makes my heart sing.

I have a new thought, (new to Me), maybe "gritty" babies grow into moms with "Grit".
In our case that is true. True Grit, the very characteristic we all need, to survive/thrive in today's world.

True Grit- My definition: Courage, Strength, Perseverance, Spunk, and just enough fight to not quit or flee when times are tough. The ability to dig deep and self preserve, (means something different to everyone).
