Smiles and Giggles

This is Katie's favorite position to be in when we put her to sleep-hold her underneath her arms and bounce her up and down gently. Funny huh!

Update on our Katie bug: Katie is quite the drama queen already. She has a fake cough as well as s fake cry at 2 months! These are what she uses when she wants us to pay attention to her or when she wants us to feel bad for her:) She is now smiling and cooing and I love it! She stays awake longer now and Tavin joins in when I talk and play with her. She can be crying and as soon as Tavin starts talking to her-lays down beside her-she stops and listens. She loves her big brother. Today I cuddled her in my arms while she was sleeping...so still and peaceful. I know when she smiles in her sleep she is dreaming about Heaven and where she used to live-probably wishing she was there again-but I am so glad she is here on earth with me!

A Laugh: The other day, Daniel and I got to laughing because she had a massive blow out! She eats a ton, and thus, she poops a ton. This one was so bad that it went all the way up her back. I didn't want to attempt taking it off of her so....we came up with a plan just to cut her out of the onesie with scissors. Oh the fun of parenthood.

The definition of Sacrifice-if you want to learn what that word really means, have children. I think that Heavenly Father intends on children being helpless when they first come to earth so that we can build a bond with them through sacrificing everything for them. Don't get me wrong, the rewards are just as abundant. Their smiles, their giggles, their cuddling, and expressions of love-make it all worth it. The things that are worth the most are the things you give the most for.
