i just love the pic--quite something to think of where melanie was almost seven years ago--now reaching in to offer a loving touch into her baby sister's isolette

bella after her bath

the "swaddle bath" that they do. had the heater going above her isolette along with the swaddling, but her little jaw still quivered.

bella sticking out her tongue--she did this a lot on her ultrasounds!
Amelia loves looking at the pictures of her new cousin. She keeps kissing the computer screen and she's trying so hard to say bella (although it sounds more like "lala"). I have a picture of Brandon, Melanie and Ethan from this summer that she carries around and says "hi" to all day, then gives it lots of kisses. Miss you guys. Hope you can all go home soon!
