A Big DA DA for Big DA DDY!!!




Lu has said her first word!!! It is "Da da"!!!!!  She'll just sit around and say "da, da, da..." and it's aw aw AWESOME!  She hasn't quite figured out the meaning of DaDa but it sure is making her Daddy proud regardless...those details can be figured out later..  We know we are blessed by so many things that Lu is doing.  Having Lucia's Private Duty Nurses has made us realize this even more.   Talking to them and learning just a little about some of her other patients that they care for..we feel so fortunate.  The reason one nurse was assigned to us was that she "was looking for more work AND she wanted to care for a healthier baby, an easier baby" and they thought of LU!  Lu is the healthier, easier baby that they thought of!   We know that she is amazing and not hard, but just hearing that made us realize how lucky we really are.  The nurses don't share much, of course, but I have learned that their other patients, pediatric patients, may have trachs, or are vent dependant, or may even be classified as 'hospice' (expected to have less than 6 months to live)....

We will continue to listen to the beautiful song of DADADADA and perhaps sometime a ma, ma, ma may just flow out of her cute little lips too!  We realize that babies are a gift and everything about them is beautiful and magical and we are in love with our girl named Lu! Sweet Tweets Da Da!

Cousins! Sweet lil Charley giving Lu her paci, and Hudson watching over...
