The Girl in the Pink Dress

Words just get in the way of this precious photo.  We think this picture says it all! I'm adorable and I'm thriving. Brien's Grandmother had this dress made when Cecily was born. At 18 months - it fits like a glove and she looked like an angel wearing it.  We love this photo because it is one of the first pictures that actually captures the light in her eyes that we see shine brighter with each passing day. Is it possible that one child can bring so much joy to the lives of so many? She is a gift to us and our family.  She radiates love and curiosity for the world. She bounces with glee at the sight of family. She loves dogs and soft blankets. She likes to have her belly kissed and she enjoys pulling hair - a little more than we would like!  There are no words to describe the pleasure she gives us. We hang on every sound she utters and every move she makes. This week we think she may have said "apple" and she sat in a grocery cart for the first time. Perhaps even better, she started to laugh again. Like Noah, she has a belly laugh - just a little softer and a little lighter. It is magic.

Her trunk is getting stronger, her legs are bearing a little more weight and she sat for three minutes unassisted! These small victories, that we took for granted with Noah, are reasons to smile, celebrate and let the dust collet and the laundry pile up! We have better things to do... like sit around and wait for the next big slide, step, sound, sigh and smile. Onwards and upwards!

This looks like a blond version of me as a baby! (the photo mom used to have on the piano)..... And she looks just as fat and pudgy as I did :) Maybe you should even decrease the tube feeding rate? What good news!!! So happy that she is obviously no longer undernourished and making gains physically and developmentally! Always, Always, makes my day!

I see light and sparkles and bliss in Cecily's eyes in this photo. And I see the reflection of her family's love very clearly!!! God Bless our precious little girl!! (I say "our" because even thought I haven't gotten to hold her yet, I honestly feel like she is my little honorary niece, with all due respect to Anita!)
