Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.--- Lin Yutang

This is so true . . . I always knew I wanted to be a mom, and I thank God daily for the boys and for bringing Kamryn into our lives. She is babbling “momma” and whether or not she really associates the word with me, it is music to my ears! It’s so wonderful to see her blossom every day. We think she is very smart! Kevin has been working with her on where her nose and ears are, and she really seems to get it! It’s funny but every day she’ll check out my ears to see what earrings I have on.

Her adoption paperwork stated that her favorite toy was a doll. She does really enjoy feeding her doll a bottle, but we’ve noticed that she has picked up some of my habits and really more so loves to pick up my cell phone and say hello. Her toy phone is just not as much fun as mine. She also knows that after we take a picture of her, she can see it instantly on the camera. She loves looking at pictures just as much as I love taking them.

More snow hit us today and it's supposed to be spring! We need warmer weather so that all these winter sick germs go away! We finally took Kamryn to get her shots, and the same day she got a fever. I thought no big deal, just a reaction from the shots. But a couple of days later and after many junky coughs and wheezes, we headed back to the doctor. Kamryn had bronchiolitis and unfortunately cloudy fluid under one of her ear tubes. So we have had the joy of giving her breathing treatments with the nebulizer 3 times a day, giving her an oral steroid, an antibiotic and ear drops. She seems to be feeling better now though.

She's has taken 7 wobbly steps on her own! Yea! She is such a happy girl, and we are truly blessed. Her laughter is such a wonderful sound!
