A "New" Life and all it's good stuff

My last post was more than a year ago. I had no idea that today I would sit here holding a new life in my arms. Miss Ella Rose joined our family in December. She's a most welcome addition! I'm sitting here, thinking of all the good stuff about a baby. Here are just a few things I love.
I loved hearing her first strong cry as she arrived in that bright cold hospital room, a sign of healthy lungs, a sound that brought both my hubby and myself to tears. I loved the first time I held her, her smell, her sweet sounds, her skin so warm and soft. I loved the first time she breastfed and did it like a champ. I loved the way my other four children looked at her with such love the first time they saw her.
I love to see her smile, every single smile as beautiful and thrilling to see as that first smile she shared with us some time ago. I love to hear her squeal. I love to hear her beautiful laugh. I love how much my big kids want to hold her, hug her, kiss her. I love that very serious look she gets when she is playing in her exercircle. As strange as this sounds, I love the sound & smell of her little gassy gassiness. There's just something so sweet about it. I love her soft hair. I love hearing her soft breaths as she lays on my chest. I love it when she sucks on her thumb.
I love everything about this new life that has improved the old life immensely.
