Smiles for Daddy

November 3, 2008

Dear Lilly:

You don't smile much yet, but you almost always smile when I put my face close to yours. I really, really like that!

The next few months should be enlightening. Today, we go see a geneticist who will tell us how God designed you, along with giving us some specifics about Williams Syndrome. Next week, we'll be back at the heart doctor to see if your arteries are getting more narrow, remaining the same, or opening up (we are hoping for this one!). In the meantime, we will have specialists in our house to see how you are developing physically. I'm sure there are other events to look forward to, but we'll have to rely on Mommy to know where and when things are happening.

Katie and Luke think you are especially great. Katie acts like she's your mother as she often wants to hold you and carry you around. Nearly every time we are in the van going somewhere, Luke holds your hand the whole time. We even went to the Olson's house in Cameron this past weekend, and Luke held your hand the entire trip up there (50 minutes).

We love you, sweet Lilly!

Keep Smiling (especially for me),
Daddy

Hi Steve and Patty,

She's beautiful! There is nothing on earth more pure and sweet than to see siblings love each other.

She is a beautiful girl. I bet you are the recipient of many more smiles these days. They are sweeter when you have waited for them somehow. My son has taught me what joy really feels like this way. God bless you and your family.
