Smith Angels - AVA

My mommy wants the world to know that 10 days ago I become an ANGEL baby. Absolutely a delight - a dream baby, in fact. My parents always adored and loved me (oh how!), but now they can really *enjoy* me, too. It is as though I suddenly began to enjoy my own life! I can now play with toys for short periods of time, and I am beginning to like some of my gear (bouncies, jumpers, Baby Einstein DVD, etc). Although mommy, daddy, and granny still spoil me by carrying me around a lot, I no longer demand it constantly. I can now just sit and observe the world around me without fear, and I can play and entertain myself for short periods.

I am so different suddenly! The change coincides with a few things: my aching ear is cleared up (antibiotics), I turned 6 months old (3 months adjusted), I "found" my fist and am able to pacify myself whenever I want by chewing on it, and lastly (and daddy is convinced, most importantly) my daddy *really* bonded with me during his vacation last week - he always loved me, but now he does crazy daddy play with me (because I am able to respond now) that I just LOVE.

My life is so good now - I am over all my preemie "issues" and sensitivites and special needs, and things are so great. My mommy is so thrilled at how happy I am! Thank you Lord!!!
