Our Firstborn

                 What Aftyn looked like when I peeked in to check on her. I love how she has her "special baby" snuggled and her puppy.

I had the sweetest conversation tonight as I put Aftyn to bed.

  Mommy:  Mommy loves you, do you love mommy?
 Aftyn: Love Mommy.
        M:  Daddy loves you, do you love daddy?
       A: Love Daddy.
          M: Bronwyn loves you, do you love Bronwyn?
           A: Love Daddy.
          M: Bronwyn loves you, do you love Bronwyn?
          A: Love Daddy.
          M: Baby sister loves you, do you love your sister?
          A: Love sister.
(By the way, all of Aftyn's answers were whispered.  Not sure why, but it made it all the more cute!)

Aftyn has done so well with all the changes this week has brought into her life.  She really does love Bronwyn.  She has had a hard time with the fact that mommy had to do so much sitting down this week, and couldn't be as helpful as normal. 
 We have been enjoying being silly and including Bronwyn in our silly play.  We have had Bronwyn "jumping" for Aftyn, pretended to "eat" Bronwyn, anything silly but normal for us that included Bronwyn.  Aftyn tries to be helpful and loves to give smoochies on the head to Bronwyn and maybe even secretly likes the smoochies I help Bronwyn give to her.

Can you tell I'm getting sappy?  I just love my girls so much and am grateful for the opportunity to love them and care for them and help them grow.  I love being a mom.
