Teaching Us!

The short time Miss Olivia has been in our family, she has already blessed our lives and taught us so much!  We cheer when she smiles and giggles!  The way her whole face lights up is adorable!  There has been a whole lot more singing going on!  We have always been big on singing but now even that has been stepped up!  She seems to especially love hearing little voices singing!  She stops and holds very still and listens.  It's so fun to watch her learn about the world around her!

Here are a couple of pictures!

I love this one with Olivia and Talisha!  Olivia has her eyebrows up, while she is listening to whatever silly song I was singing at the time!

LOVE THIS PIC!!!  How precious is that face???  I love her little hand resting under her chin!

Miss Jasmine was telling Olivia all about her day at kindergarten!

 

 

Because sweet Olivia is not able to see, we talk to her about everything we are doing!  Walking up the stairs, changing her diaper, getting her bottle ready, getting in her car seat......everything.  We tell her what we're doing so she will be able to start to form impressions in her mind that will help her relate to the action.

 

Imagine for a moment if you didn't have your sight and you just got bounced around doing things, without ever knowing what was going on.....it might be a little scary.  We want her to feel safe and secure as much as possible!  We figure if she at least hears our voice, it will give her some comfort even if she doesn't know what's going on.

 

We continue to thank our Father in Heaven every day for this precious gift!  How thankful we are to her beautiful first mother, who gave her life and then chose our family to love her precious daughter!  How thankful we are to the amazing woman who cared for her for the first 3 1/2 months of her life!  What a beautiful beginning she has had!  She has been blessed by love.
