Millie

Millie is so perfect. I know that everyone thinks that about their children. I'm just another Mama that thinks her child is perfect. What is so scary too me is that she was sent to me from God in ways that I can't even explain, but if you have been reading along with this blog, you get it from the outside point of view. Inside our lives is so amazing that I still can't believe what is going on. My Mother-in-law asked me yesterday if everything has sunk in. If it feels real yet. I have to say in the moment it does feel real. I can't remember my life before Millie. I have no idea what I did with all of my time. I can't remember not waking up to Millie. Sleeping in. Even when she does visit with Grandma and spends the night, I'm on her schedule. But when we get ready for bed and everything is winding down I get so emotional. Every night we read a book and say our prayers, and I sing to Millie, (she and Kaelin are the only ones who love to hear me sing) we pray for Millie's biological mom. We hope that she is okay and wish that we could let her know that Millie has made our life so complete. She is so much like me in so many ways. She has a great personality, funny, jabbers all the time, very busy and loves to laugh. Then the ways she is like Daddy, she has a temper, likes to tear things up and not help put them back together, leaves her mess for Mommy to clean up, talks back but I can't understand what she's saying yet because it's sound foreign to me. That last part was just for fun, (sort of) But on the serious note, at night is when this feels like a dream. When I get to reflect back on the last 4 months God blessed us with a absolutely beautiful, happy, loving baby. I will not go on and on about how perfect she, is but we have answered prayers fast asleep at our house, and I'm a Mommy. New words. Night-night, bath, baby, doggy, Papaw, awe, tickle tickle, bite, thank-you, give, all gone, all done. Along with all the old ones, it's crazy how fast she learns. She can point to my nose, eyes, mouth, raises up her shirt to show her belly-button. She does bite, and pinch which are not fun for me but it happens when she is acting like other people in the family. Here are some pictures of Paul's family reunion, Kaelin and Millie.

We brought Millie home 4 months ago today. Happy Grandparents Day!!!!!!!!!!

Gooooo CATS!!!!!
