A day of firsts

First Bath

First Skittles (and first major breakthrough for Mom and Honour)

First Smile

First Laugh


First English words: “All gone” and “Obama”. (We had the television news on and the anchor was talking about the election. When he mentioned Obama’s name, Honour perfectly repeated “Obama”. We about fell off the couch laughing.)

Today was a good day. Our little girl is coming back to life again.
