Zion in the Bible is symbolic of God’s presence…
And our Zion carries His presence, too. 🤍
Zion’s life is such a gift. He is an incredible blessing to our family and brings so much joy to our hearts and to everyone around him.
My husband said in his birthday post that “Zion carries peace and joy,” and that resonated with me so deeply because he really does. That feels like a lot to say about a baby, but it’s true. There is something so sweet and peaceful about his spirit.
Every family photo, every celebration, and every memory we make together feels like an answered prayer for me.
After 10+ years of navigating so much of life seemingly “alone” — the last three of those as a single mom — becoming a family has meant more to me than I could ever put into words. And Zion is such a beautiful part of that answered prayer.
The baby days are hard. There are messes, sleepless nights, dirty diapers, food everywhere, and a surprising amount of my hair getting ripped out. 😂 But woven into all of it are more moments than I can count that I know I’ll treasure for the rest of my life.
The sleepy cuddles. The gummy smiles that turned into little teeth. Watching him discover the world. Watching his brother love him. Watching my husband become his dad. Watching our family become us.
Happy 1st Birthday, Baby Zi 💙
