Good Morning Kaiya: October 2011

For Kaiya

"Oh wow...It's a girl!" your Father said to me with smile. Both of our eyes were filled with tears. I felt peace and joy and beauty all at once as I held your tiny body in my arms.
"What is her name?" the nurses asked.
"Kaiya..her name is Kaiya."

Kaiya,
From the moment you came into our world, your Father and I knew our lives would change forever. We had no idea it could be this amazing. There are no words to describe the love in my heart. When I look at you I feel like everything is brand new, like the start of a new day. I am wide awake, filled with life. I smile through tears as I type each sentance, so grateful for my sweet, sweet baby. I am now reminded of the potential each day brings; all of the good things life has to offer. Every morning now is a 'good morning' waking up and singing to you. You are pure JOY.

Good morning, Kaiya. Good morning, life.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We are so excited for Kaiya's 1st Halloween!

That sure is a nice trick or treat bag..Thanks Aunt Dineenie!! (Or Aunt Dill as mom likes to call her!)

Mommy made matching costumes for her and Riley.

Gremlin & Gizmo!

Oh my how time has flown by! Little baby is getting so big so fast! At her 4 month check up, she weighed in at 12lbs 3.5oz. and is in the 25% percentile. She is extremely active and alert. She is able to scoot from place to place and almost crawled out of her swing the other day!
