update on our baby girl...

Each time that we get to be with our niece, we are just reminded how incredible this little girl is. She brings so much joy and has so much love to give and receive. We can tell that she will be a very relational, nurturing soul, who loves others. She has her moments where you can tell that she is warming up to a situation but once she is comfortable, look out, because then we see her little extroverted side come out.

This little one LOVES Ryder. We could have an entire movie montage of just pictures with our niece and Ryder... Whenever she talks to him, her voice goes at least 8 octaves higher... when she holds him, she pats his little tummy and nuzzles her head to his, and it could make you cry with how much they love each other.

She still loves her coffee and ANYTHING that her brothers do. She is always taking inventory of where everyone is and what they are doing. (ie: daddy in his office, papa at work, mia at the hospital, Ryder sleeping...) Her language and vocabulary are incredible. She has gone to repeating words to putting her own sentences/phrases together. When she says something and we respond to her she just gives you the biggest smile.

Overall, she is doing so well and we just could not love her more.
We keep joking with each other, "too bad we aren't totally addicted to her..."

Thank you all for those that have continued to keep our family in your prayers through this time of transition. They are so appreciated!
