A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

William - 5 months

My littlest boy...
You are growing so fast! It seems like yesterday I was holding you for the very first time! You still hate laying on your stomach! But you love laying on your back reaching for things. You love standing up - this is new - legs that don't bend and you stand so tall looking at everything! EVERYTHING goes in your mouth! Blankies, your little stuffed elephent, and you suck on them till they are soaked! You love watching your brothers - they come in the room, you hear them and immediately turn and look for them. Your hair is finally started to grow back and your cradle cap is almost gone. You sleep 8 to 10 hours but 2 days this week you have only slept 6 - maybe you are growing? You are such a happy baby and rarely cry! You smile and smile and smile! You hate loud noices - they startle you - and that is usually the only time you cry. You even wake up happy and smiling!
I love you William. To the moon and back - one million 5 thousand times - and yes that is a lot!

Today is also your Uncle Dougies bday - he would have been 36 years old. I think often that I wish you could have met him - he was so funny! But then I remember that you have ~ he was one of the angels kissing you as you came down to be with us. We even have evidence of all the angels who kissed you! When all your hair fell off we noticed little red blotches on the back of your kneck. I asked the Dr about them and she said they are birth marks. These are also known as angel kisses ~ spots left from the kisses the angels gave you as you left Heaven to come live on earth.
