Change...Good Change

The fall leaves were hitting my windshield as I sleepily made my way to the hospital to be with my sister and Adia early on Sunday morning. I just remember thinking, "I am about to meet my little niece for the first time and my life will never be the same. She is here." As I peeked at her under her white blanket while laying on Krissy's chest she was pink and wrinkled and warm. I dug my nose in the folds of her back and wished I could crawl in and make myself at home. She was perfect. I am so proud of my sister for bringing her into the world and applaud her for giving it her all even when it is really, really, really hard. I barely know Adia, already love her and can't imagine life without her. Adia made her first trip to Auntie's house and Addison ran around playing with everything that was not officially a toy but easily could be given 5 minutes in his hands. He is such a loving big brother, bringing Adia her pacifier and placing the wipes and diaper on the couch for Krissy. Auntie loves you Addison!

Little Adia is little everywhere except her face, where you can easily see she LOVES her mommy's milkie milkie. Her little blue eyes tried to focus at the lights at Auntie's house and her little legs wiggled up onto my chest as she nestled in.

Uncle Angel remembered very well exactly what to do with a newborn...except when it came to changing her diaper..."Now how do you clean THAT?"

Ignacio is over the moon that Adia is here. He calls her "baby Adia" and is very conscious of where she is and what she is doing. It is great practice for what lays ahead for him!

While Ama was here this week Ignacio spent every waking moment with her while they read books, she took him for trips around the condo in the suitcase and they danced to the WONDERFUL (AHHHHHH) children's CD she bought for him. How many ways can you sing the alphabet...let me tell you...TOO many!
