Love you!

Alivia is doing some the sweetest things right now that I have to share...

Yesterday during dinner, Aaron and I said, "Love you!" and Alivia kissed her hand and tried blowing us kisses!
Lately when we put her on the changing table she will grab a kleenex and sniff it like she is trying to blow her nose and then she throws it down.
Today when I got out of the shower I put on lotion and Alivia came walking over to me and bent down, put her hands on her knees and sniffed my lotion! It was soooo cute!

These precious things make me so proud to be a mom!

I was bawling like a baby tonight watching 16 and Pregnant. There was this couple on there that decided to give their little girl up for adoption and went through a Christian adoption agency. I cried watching their struggles with giving the child up and watching the adoptive parents guard their hearts until the deal was done. What an amazing experience and I was so amazed how mature this young couple was even against their own families wishes of giving the child up! I just can't imagine going through that. This couple gave their little girl a life they couldn't have given her themselves. How amazing. I am so thankful for my life and my little girl and the fact that I never had to go through anything like that. I am thankful for not having to make that kind of a choice. Thank you God for the life that you have given me and for blessing me with a baby girl who I can take care of.
