a year ago we were scheduled to take a long awaited trip to st. john. well along came brooklyn FOUR months early and the trip was postponed... until now.
many of you remember a year ago, moments after her birth, brooklyn grasped sean's hand - a moment neither of us will ever forget. well, the time has come - here in st. john - for b to say her first words... "da da." yep, that's right, NOT ma ma, da da. i would have been jealous, but brooklyn's sweet little da da put us all into a world of sweetness and i was left with nothing but joy.
here are some images that will make you see why she said "da da" before anything else:
sweet words, and a sweet post. what a little miracle!!
ReplyDeleteSean rules. For real. Look at these pictures. Oh man. Now when we ask Riley, "What does Brooklyn say?" And she says "Da da" it's for real. I love that.
ReplyDeletePS Riley has TWO moms and STILL doesn't say MAMA although she says about 300 other words. Including DADA!!!
She is so beautiful! I found your blog today and was touched by her story! I also have a 26 week old preemie, and I love seeing your little one thriving! It gives us other preemie moms great hope! My little one is doing great now but I worry about delays etc. Thanks for sharing her story!
