sweet and funny things

i just found this in our pictures.  i didn't want to lose it or forget that he had written it.
a friend sent us a message asking how we were doing not long after minnie was born.  

christian's reply melted my heart.  wonderful husband and father is an understatement.  we are both still tired and disheveled, but so grateful to have minnie in our lives.  she is such a little sweetie.  

speaking of our little sweetie.  yesterday when she woke up from her nap, i heard her making little squeaks.  i went in to the room and found her licking and trying to suck on the side bars of the cradle.  i started laughing and stuck my face down in the cradle.  she looked over at me and flashed one of her cute little smiles, the kind that says "oh good.  i know you know what i want."  what a funny kid.
