In following the example of my wonderful sister-Inlaw I am going to use this blog as a kinda of family journal. So that one day our children and grandchildren will have it to show their families. Davis is just over a month old now and it is already hard for me to remember a time without her. I have spent almost a year thinking, caring and loving her that is just seems natural now. We have been on vacation in California for a week and will be here for a couple more enjoying the warm weather and sunshine. While here Davis has really grown. She came fitting into certain outfits and now those outfits are a little snug. She was wearing size newborn diapers, and has moved into size one. She is awake more, and loves to lay on her blanket and kick her legs. She lays there and makes the cutest cooing noises and smiles and moves her head. She is so strong she holds her head up so well, and looks around taking in everything new. I can only imagine how exciting it all is.

I now understand why, because you will always see your kids as the innocent perfect little babies that at one time only needed you for comfort. So at the time you hate your parents and think that they are just trying to hurt you. What is really happening is they love you so much they can't watch you do something they know will hurt you and them.
