Christmas in April, Heavenly Babies and Finding the Moon

April 11, 2008 By Kelle

New Things We Do:

1) She holds the phone up to her ear and says “Vrrrr.” Brilliant Child.

2) She LOVES to go through our box of old Christmas cards and make a HUGE mess of cards on the floor (note to all: Baby is never left unsupervised with this Ziplock…tee hee). She points to the cards and says “Vrrr.” Brilliant Child. 3) She knows where the moon is! Daddy takes her outside every night before bed to say Goodnight to Mr. Moon. She points up in the sky and says “Vrrrr.” Brilliant Child.4.) She met her best friend, Lily. We are practicing with Baby Doll at home…how to be gentle and touch softly and give whisper kisses. We’ll get there. Precious to hold this sweet baby. I snuck in an extra picture of our Sweet Lily…we just love her! I think she’s part mine. No need for Amber Alert, but seriously. Aching for another baby after holding this heaven. Sigh.

And here’s my little heaven. Another sigh. Life is good, people. Life is good.

Goodnight, Moon! Goodnight All! Or, as Lainey says….”Vrrrrr.” Sigh. I love her.

    What amazing time, I feel like I was there! Your pictures bring everything you do to life, and I love the one where Lainey is next to the sign My Fabulous Life.

    Vrrrrr! Lainey is brilliant 🙂
    Lily looks like a baby-doll compared to Lainey, wow, it is hard to believe she was that small only a short time ago!
