how did almost 100 days go by so fast?

3 months ago today we met her. 
i almost didn’t post today.. except that i watched  a snippet of the baby story this afternoon, and i wept like crazy when that stranger mama pushed that baby out. and when she held her for the first time…and the daddy came out crying to tell the family that it was a girl. so beautiful. the whole process. being a mother. i am so thankful that i have 4 beautiful babes. beware… i am in full motherly gushy mode right now. 🙂

this one cracks us up. she amazes us. she makes us fall in love with her more each day. we could burst. BURST! she’s a whopping 12 lbs 8oz (i got to sneak in a weigh while i was taking kira to the doc today) and loves her routine. she loves to sleep… YES! finally a child who loves to sleep! and does so well at night and during her 4 naps in the day. she sucks her fingers. (we never had one who did that) and coos and smiles so beautifully. she loves her playmat and her bouncy seat. i love the expression she makes when she is checking out her toys. 🙂 and her eyes are STILL grey.. but you can see bits of brown seeping in. lovely.

she is an amazing kid that little elsie bells.
