περιπλάνηση: First days

Somehow, when I was asleep I suppose, my children grew up. As of today, I have two teenagers in high school, one a senior making his way through so many "lasts" that he will look back on wistfully as he ages. The other, bravely entering the giant high school as a student for the first time this morning. She's my adventurer, the one who leaps out into the great unknown with almost no trepidation (at least that she will show you), who dreams big and has the abilities to make them come true. I know so many wonderful things await her.

Born 9/5/95 full term at 4 pounds,she was my tiny little miracle.

We kept her in the stroller because the crib was so huge.

She was like dressing a very tiny baby doll and so perfect.

First Easter

That sweet smile. :)

She was a year old before we could find a shoe with hard soles in her size (at 1 year, newborn size 1). She had been walking for 5 months before that.

Wasn't long before she had a hat thing going.

Look at those big blue eyes.

She had been poked and prodded so much that we couldn't take her to get pictures done professionally by the time she was a year old. They still didn't know why she was so tiny (12 pounds at her first birthday) and she would flip out anytime I set her down on any kind of table because she associated them with going to the doctor's.
