Where do precious little babies come from?

 

Page 7

 

Well, some people say adorable little babies like me are found under cabbage leaves....

And, some people say that storks deliver babies in neat little packages.

It has even been said that babies are a very special gift from Heaven, carried by angels, and placed gently in their mother's arms.

But that's not how I got here!  I was born at Saint Mary’s Hospital  

on July 17, 2002 at 3:34 AM

"Congratulations!"  I heard Dr. Dixon say as I was gently held

 for everyone to see.

I was carefully placed on a scale to see how much I weighed. 8lbs 4oz! That's a lot of love!

Next I was carefully measured. Wow!  This is a lot of activity for the first day of a baby's life.  I wonder if every day will be this busy.

As I was placed in the arms of a very beautiful woman, I heard her say, "You are truly the world's most precious baby."

It felt wonderful to be held so warmly and lovingly.  As we quietly sat and watched each other, I realized that this was my Mommy.

Grandma and Grandpa Griffith and Aunt Cathy and Uncle Bob came to see me and Mommy. They brought cards, gifts and flowers to welcome me into the world.

There were a lot of pictures taken of me.  Some of them were really cute, and some looked a little silly.

I heard Mommy say she chose the best picture of me to put with our family photo collection.  I look quite adorable, don't you think?

We enjoyed each and every day together.  I loved to have gentle lullabies sung to me.  I always fell asleep to "Rock-a-bye Baby."

Bath time was great!  I loved to splash the water, and even when I got Mommy wet, she just laughed.

 

Page 26

 

She really laughed when I made faces at the new foods she fed me.

Every day is a new and exciting adventure.  Mommy says it won't be long before I'm running and playing with the big kids.  I can't wait, but I can tell she thinks I'm growing up too fast.

I keep Mommy so busy she barely has time to write to her friends about my arrival.  Yes, I know the stork didn't bring me here, and I wasn't found under a cabbage leaf.....
