ONE MONTH TODAY!!!


(yes, that's our eating machine!)

Just look at that face...do you think she is happy or what!


Our Miss Annabelle has been officially a "Leonard" as of month today! She is truly a joy and is just one amazing little angel that came into our lives at the perfect time! Looking back I can't believe it has been a month already (where does the time go) and I can't believe how well this little girl has adjusted to life in the Leonard household. Annabelle & Francesca have developed a "bond" (yes, already!) that I don't think I will truly ever understand. It is just so beautiful how everything clicked! (you also would never believe the changes...BIG CHANGES...my Francesca has made. It is like she grew-up overnight into this little independent girl and big sister. The drama is not there as it was before and she has a true love and devotion for her sister.) And...even though Francesca did not have any problems with sharing before...it is still not an issue. She shares EVERYTHING with her little sister. They are even sleeping in the same room together and the best part is...I love hearing them chit chat before going down. I always ask Francesca when she gets up what they talked about (since Annabelle is so limited to her speaking vocabulary) and Francesca's response to me is always..."Just some sister stuff, Mom...you wouldn't understand!" Again...how did we ever get so blessed! As again for our Annabelle...she is almost completely off the binki and it was all her doing! She doesn't ask for it and if we don't give it to her...she doesn't complain. I guess she truly does trust us...for I so know how hard it is to get them off that habit and in such a short time!

(she so loves this Nutcracker...and the ballet!)


(she just takes my breath away!)


Artist hard at work!

They are so sweet together...I love what Francesca said...."Just some sister stuff, you wouldn't understand Mom" It doesn't get much better than that....so cute!!

I am so thrilled that they have bonded so quickly.....it is truly amazing.
