...Simply a Gift...

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, home happier, clothes dirty, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for"

Gia is now almost 3 months old and it has been a blessing to watch her grow. I try my best to see Gia every week and every time I see her there is something different about her. Her character and being has changed so much from when she was first born. She is already making all kinds of noises, almost trying to talk I would say! Her demeanor has changed too. She is a happy baby and always seems content. She rarely cries, although she has her moments, she is well behaved and always smiling. I truly love Gia and I make it priority to spend as much time with her as I can because I feel it's important that she knows who I am . I also feel that I'm a good role model and although many kids look up to their parents, as I'm sure Gia will do, it is always beneficial to have a role model. In my most recent experiences with Gia I've captured pictures of her smiling (like the one above), yawning, sleeping and eating. I have to admit for a 2 month old baby, Gia eats and sleeps a majority of the time. Boy I wish I could have her life! Gia is also very lucky because her parent's take amazing care of her and attend to all her needs. She is always being held, which the family has already discussed may be a little problem ha, but we just can't let go of her! There's something about Gia that brings so much happiness to those around her. I could be in the worst mood, crying my eyes out and if I go see Gia I'm happy and forget about all my worries. It may just be something that babies give to people but to me it's something specifically about Gia that brings joy to my heart. I don't blog about Gia to brag or sound selfish but rather to teach people a lesson. What Gia has taught me is to be appreciative of what you have. I am lucky to have such a beautiful, healthy baby cousin and I appreciate her more than I appreciate other things that are important. So in my case Gia doesn't just make me happy but has taught me to cherish what I have in my own life, including having her. When I come home after spending the day with Gia I think about how much I miss her but more importantly, think about how she truly is a miracle.
