Happy 4th Birthday DD!

Today is DD's 4th birthday! It's so hard to believe- she's getting so big!

I can remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. She was so quiet when she came out... the nurses and doctors had to work a bit to get her to respond. Because of this, she spent a few extra days in the NICU (the worst days of my life up 'til this point). And really, this has been her personality from day one... mellow, cries very little, prefers to be alone, seems to be "in her own world" a lot of the time. We're just now getting some real "personality" out her... she giggles and cuddles more than she ever used to. The therapy has been helping with that.

She is such a joy- so easy to make happy, asks for very little, so content, unselfish... she is exactly what I always wanted but didn't know to ask for. I couldn't imagine her being any other way than the exact way she is!

Thank you DD for the best four years of our lives...
