Isha Started Walking...

We officially have a walker. I couldn't be more proud of my sweet girl! Just on her Birthday she started walking. I think Olivia inspired her to walk. It sure is fun watching this girl learn and grow big!

On other side Olivia is very excited that Isha started walking and she can run after her.

Will update photos soon.

Love always,

Angel

Happy 1st Birthday Isha...

Happy Birthday Isha

My sweet baby girl -
Today (the 21st) - you will be One year old at 6:16 a.m. You were weigh 4lbs 8oz. I will never forget the last day you were born. Went to my regular check up and found out that my blood pressure is very high and Doctor suggested me to go to the hospital right way and they induced me.

I was in so much pain and finally got my epidural and really never felt anything after. Isha were born and they say that the birth of your child is the best day of your life. After two days when Isha got very high temperature and not going away. They took few tests and next day I had a doctor standing by my bed saying you would likely not live because you got brain hemorrhage third stage and Meningitis if you will survive you might will not walk. At that time you could have cut the tension in the room with a knife. Instead of swaddling you and holding you – they were wheeling you in a tiny glass incubator and shifting you to the sick kids hospital. Instead of me and daddy having a great time in the hospital we all were crying non-stop and scared to death I wouldn’t get to keep you. But we were so blessed and you got better. Sick kids reports came negative. Some miracle happened really. After few days you were much better. You gave little smile and that was the best day! I will never forget. Your time in the NICU was a hard, scary time but it was also a wonderful time. Because it was a time when we saw God in the flesh. You were prayed for my thousands of people all over the world. We witnessed the kindness of strangers first hand. I thank God for your kindness. I never dreamed that I would love my child as much as I love you and your sister. Everyday with you has been sweeter than the day before. Its been hard. Your weren’t easy baby and you still don’t sleep very well. But I would give up sleep forever to look at your precious face. I think you are the sweetest, cutest little girl.  Your smile is the best thing and your laugh is the best music. You will never understand as long as you live just how much your daddy and I love you.
So today we are going to celebrate your little life. You have brought us so much joy I can't even begin to share half of it. I thank God every single day for allowing me to be your mom and for blessing me with you. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life loving you and Olivia

So what are you up to at a year????

You are still very tiny! You weigh a little over 14 lbs. I'll find out your stats this week at your one year appointment.

You LOVE to eat and pretty much eat everything but meat. You spit meat out and make terrible faces. I'm not so sure about that. You do seem to have a sweet tooth!

You started walking today. You can push things around and walk behind them and you have taken 1-2 steps. You can get around this house fast though. You are constantly into everything. You want to get into the garbage bin.

You still don't say many words. You babble constantly but mostly just say "hi", "dad-da" and "uh-oh". I know you will talk on your own time.

You wave, point, shake your head no, do your hands out when you say "hi", and smile all the time.

Everywhere we go people stop me to say how cute you are and I can't help but be so proud. Not because my baby is "cute" but because I know you are a sweet, happy baby and I pray you will be a kind, loving girl and woman!

You go to bed at 8 and sleep until 9:30 but you usually get up at least twice and lately you have been getting up every 3 hours. We are going to be working on that this week!

You take a good 2 hour morning nap each day.

Happy Birthday to the most precious little girl I know!!! I love you so much!

Isha is a cutie and one lucky little girl to be surrounded by so much love and joy; especially from her parents and grand parents.

Love always,

Angel Mommy

6 Months...

Blessings

Olivia's new favourite thing to say every time Isha is crying "Momma, GET YOUR BABY"

Momma, get your baby. Ha Ha! It makes me laugh.

I heard this song "Blessings" by Laura Story today. You may have all heard it - but if not - maybe you need to hear it tonight. I love the lyrics below....

We pray for wisdom

Your voice to hear

And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near

We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love

As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

All the while, You hear each desperate plea

And long that we'd have faith to believe

‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

And what if a thousand sleepless nights

Are what it takes to know You’re near

What if my greatest disappointments

Or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy

And what if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are Your mercies in disguise

Photo Shoots Isha Jolly Three Months old! Yay

Isha is Three Month Old!

Isha is Three month old today!

Isha weighs probably around 7 lbs now she is tiny baby just like her Mommy. She is eating every 3 hours during the day and usually goes at least 3-4 hour stretches at night. She is such a happy content baby unless she is hungry or wet! She will smile when you talk to her.

We have loved having this sweet baby in our family for the last three months. She is such a blessing. She has brought us so much joy. We are getting adjusted to being a family of four. I have to put more thought into going places or even just doing every day tasks with two. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. I can't wait for Isha to get bigger and for her and Olivia to play together!

and speaking of big sister.. Its her Birthday today and she turned 3 years old. She is just a spitfire ball of energy! She keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh. She loves "the baby".

It seems like just yesterday that Olivia was turning six month old!

Love you my girls.

Mommy Angel...
