Birthday Girl!

Ever wonder what a birthday looks like for a 6th month old preemie?

Sleeping in...


Getting a big brunch and foot massage...


Taking a bath...


Dressing to impress...


Making a few funny faces...


And, or course, hanging out with an old friend...


Nate

It brings tears to my eyes to see how much that little girl has grown. I am so happy that she is as healthy as she is with the circumstances of her birth. Your girls are amazing that's for sure. Have a wonderful rest of the week!

  31. A few observations:

    Photo 1: Beautifully shaped head.

    Photo 2: Meka must be a sweet girl.

    Photo 3: The darn blanket's too close. A girl's gotta cross her eyes to see it.

    Photo 4: Ballerina.

    Photo 5: Mom's mouth. Dad's eyes.

    Photo 6: Priceless.

  119. Happy Birthday, Gwyneth! I can't believe it's been 6 months already. Gwyneth was born on the day I had my last chemo treatment for breast cancer, so her milestones have been very special to me. Thanks to the ever present care of our Loving God and the love and prayers of many people, we are both doing just fine--Thank you very much!
