You have been such a sweetheart on so many excursions over the past few days. We have to do everything in short spurts, so I am trying not to test you too much, but you have been great. We even made it to church on Sunday and you slept the whole time. (That is not a reflection on the teaching...) But last night we tried to get your pictures taken by a very dear friend of ours, and you were completely uncooperative! You were supposed to have your bottle and go right back to sleep. Apparently, you are not as photogenic when you are awake because you are constantly looking in the wrong direction and wiggling just as the camera clicks. But you refused to go to sleep! We tried everything... Daddy walking around, Mommy shushing and rocking you... You were simply not feeling it. Hopefully we got a few good ones and we are planning to do Part 2 on Sunday when we get back from visiting the family for Thanksgiving.
I cannot say how thankful we are for you, Sweet Girl. I cannot believe that tomorrow you will be a month old! You are already so much bigger and more active. Your daddy keeps telling me (since he is usually not good about putting things in writing) how much he adores you and wishes he could be home with you all the time. He is so amazed at what a little miracle you are and is so tender and gentle with you. I love to watch him talk softly and cuddle you up. It makes me so thankful that I have such a helping partner in this, such a wonderful encourager and strong family man. Just eight years ago we were two crazy teenagers dating! And look what we did together - you turned out just perfect.
I keep catching myself just admiring how beautiful and intricate you are with those long fingers. Someday those hands will want to do everything on their own. Someday they will not need me to hold them, and someday they will hold on to a good man of your own. Someday, I might even be ready to let go, but not today. Today I want to hold them tight and just be thankful that they are still tiny and holding onto me.
