Here are some of her first big smiles. Once she figured it out, this grin became an almost permanent fixture on her face!
Found her toes!

Happiest baby EVER!
This brings us to present day. Deandra is so pleasant (though santa wasn't her favorite). She is practically crawling and enjoying real food very much! What a joy she has been. Sorry we haven't shared her with you more.
Deandra's hair looked lighter today, and she is still packing on the pounds! For those of you who don't remember Enola getting chubby like Deandra is, yes she did:
Deandra is still slightly confused about day and night. She takes lovely, long, peaceful naps during the day, and seems to be either awake or grunting really loud at night. Hence, the cradle is now in the kitchen (where we can hear her when she really wakes up, but don't have to listen to her baby noises all night long)
Enola enjoyed an Easter egg hunt at Bunk and Bap's house. Thankfully it stopped raining long enough to fill the basket!
We got to spend lots of time with the cousins over the past couple of weekends. Here are Cole, Bode, Enola, and Deandra...the four GREAT grandkids!
Enola keeps growing! She makes me laugh so many times a day. She has been singing along with the radio, "sneaking up" on me (she hunches her shoulders and bends her knees and walks up to people with this goofy smirk on her face), she's been "sharing" with Deandra (laying bows, books, socks, etc. on her belly) and giving lots and lots of kisses to her baby sister. Here she is watering the weeds in the driveway and tring on Daddy's church shoes.
Thanks to those of you who came to visit and for all your well-wishes and prayers. We are slightly sleep deprived, but doing GREAT! a few hours of sleep is a small price to pay for so much love and joy in our house!
