"Mommy, I love her"

This sweet little peanut is my dear, dear friend's daughter. Such a wonderful little family, with an eager big sister at home they welcomed this beautiful little girl. I waited SO long to get my hands on her, and was finally able to just a few short days after she joined our world.

My son, who has had many play dates with her big sister, knew who she was just from her pictures, and said "Mommy, I love her, and I haven't even got to hold her yet." I explained to him, that is the wonderful thing about babies, you love them for the wonder of who they will become. You love them for who they already are. You love them because you love their family. And you love them because they are SO squishy cute!" To that he giggled and agreed! We do love her!
