Oh How Happy You Have Made Me!

Almost 5 months ago, this little blessing entered our lives! A true miracle, a true gift and a baby of pure happiness! A chunky little lovebug full of smiles for anyone and everyone! Her coos melt my heart, her sweet smiles brighten my day and her snuggles as she is rocked to sleep are treasures I can never have replaced. In a house already filled with such love and joy for children, Bess was the perfect addition to our family. A go-with-the-flow kindof baby. Rarely, if ever, is she phased by noise, distraction or energetic toddlers! The precious chunky child is just happy to be involved, have her passy, be covered up with Froggy Foo Foo and be rocked to sleep. That is just about all she requires! That and a few bowls of cereal to maintain her slender figure! My heart is overjoyed with love for my sweet Baby Bess!


Although we were a few weeks behind, today Baby Bess had her 4 month check up.
I quote " Your child is thriving under your care. A robust child she is! " Have you seen Bess' cheeks lately? The child doesn't miss a meal. Today, Bess weighed in at 17 1/2 pounds and was 27 inches long! I quote again "She has really kicked it into high gear here lately!" I suppose you could say that!


So just what is Baby Bess into these days? The answer is simple: feet!













Bess loves Otis! She giggles so loudly when he licks her hands or sniffs her. Otis is so gentle with her and lays beside her. I think he realizes she is safe company compared to Charlie! What is it about a big ol' dog and a chunky baby laughing! I could stare at this picture for days!




Bess is trying so hard to roll over! She is working hard but not quite there yet!


Guess what she is looking at here?




You guess it. Otis had moved and Bess needed her side kick back!



Just look at her sweet hand! I melted!

Dear Baby Bess, Your smile is a gift from God. I pray that you use your smile to brighten the day of others. I pray your spirit is always happy and joyous. May you remember always how loved and special you are to your daddy and me! What a blessing you are. How lucky we are to love you each day! I love you beyond words!

I wonder if the word 'complete' is in all caps for a reason...ha! At my house the hubby would've put it in all caps, bold, and italics!!

Come on Bubs- as cute as the Bailey babies are why not throw a few more into the mix! Kasie this post like many of yours made me tear up- which I am doing all the time right now- I can't even watch a pampers commercial these days with out crying. I can't wait to see Bess in her Halloween costume!
