After 25 hours of labor...

Papa looks smitten...

So this is what's outside Mama! Wow!

Look! I'm one and I can stand...

....and walk.

Definitely Papa's girl! At 2, she knows just ho to get Papa to smile even in the midst of trying to discipline her.

This year, our first princess turned 3. Three already! She has and is such a treasure!

Her particular way of smiling for the camera nowadays...

She has a kind heart and she frequently tells us how much she loves us -- at times declaring it out of the blue. She is quick to apologize when she realizes she has hurt other people's feelings. She is quite observant and needs only to hear something once or twice before it finds it's way in her monologues as she plays with her dolls and stuffed toys. She loves her little sister, though at times she forgets that Josie is not a doll but a real live baby. She asks the hardest questions and at this point in time favors the question "why" and is excited to learn how to read. She already knows her alphabets and their phonetic equivalent. She definitely keeps me on my toes. Life is never dull when she's around. Thank God for this little angel -- one whose smile is a constant reminder of God's smiles for us.
