She Smiled!






Dynelle, this entry is dedicated to you. I know you have waited two long years for this wonderful post. Okay, my first post. But at last, the long wait is over. I am blogging.

My sweet Eliza Jayne smiled today. It's true, she was looking up at me this morning and I was talking to her and she smiled that adorable baby smile. Oh, how she makes me happy. Do you remember how Mom would always say each baby she had made the love grow in the family. I really had no idea what she was talking about. Until I became a mother. Each one of our kids has added so much joy and love it amazes me. I can see why having babies is so addicting. No wonder Mom had nine.
When Eliza was born I thought there might be some jealousy. But not once have any of the kids complained about the new baby. It has been nothing but excitement and love. When she cries Jacob kisses her head and calls her Angel Cakes and every time she calms down. Abby is constantly asking "Can I hold the baby?" And Alyviah loves to help bathe and dress her. Alyviah is especially good at smothering lotion on Eliza's head.

We are blessed!
