Baby Willow
came into this world with two big sisters. Four year old Adalyn and two year
old Emelia. From the very beginning she was petted, patted, and poked.
She’s
the most laid-back baby ever. She has to be. Emelia, the sister closest in age
treats her like a playmate and sometimes a play thing! Adalyn, the oldest in
the family mothers Willow.
When Erin, Willow’s mom, was in kindergarten she asked me about the “lacy trees.” I didn’t know what she was talking about but after a while, I figured it out. She was asking about Weeping Willow trees. In the spring of the year their leaves are small and limey-green. From a distance the trees look like they’re covered with light green lace. (Take a look this spring!)

Baby Willow
is like her name-sake. She’s a quiet beauty that is the lacey-ness in our
lives.
Willow, much to my delight, has
strawberry blond hair. I’ve always been partial to gingers. My husband and our
son are both gingers.
Willow loves
to clap her hands and say “hi.” She says
Dada and Mama, too. Willow loves marshmallows. She mostly uses her left hand to
pick up food and it seems when I comment about her being a leftie, she switches
to her right hand!
She has
always been a watcher. She doesn’t miss a thing. Only recently has she started
to make a lot of joyful noise regarding her surroundings.
Like her
sisters, she is taking her time getting teeth. At this point, she has two
little bottom teeth that broke through at the same time.
Willow fills
my heart with love and gratitude when she crawls over to me and puts both of
her little hands up in the air for me to pick her up. I love knowing that she
wants me to hold her. I am a lucky
Grammy!
Happy first
birthday to my sweet girl, Willow.
God has
blessed our family.
Until next
time,
Be Good to Yourself.
