Yes, you probably guessed it. Brittain is now saying “Dada.” The timing of this new word was great. Dan left on a ski trip to Utah on February 28th for the bachelor party of Matthew DeAngelis (Cecilia’s fiance). The morning he left, he had to leave VERY early to catch his flight. Although Brittain doesn’t usually wake up until close to 8:00, she woke up shortly after he left, which was around 5:30 a.m. I got her up and put her in bed with me for her to drink her morning bottle. I dozed off while she was drinking, but was coherent enough to notice her talking. The word that I heard? DADA. I raised my head up immediately and said, “What did you just say?” She didn’t repeat it immediately, but during the 5 days that Dan was gone, she said it many times. I finally was able to record a video on my phone of her saying this and I sent it to Dan while he was away. It was priceless and he loved it. It was the perfect message to send to him while he was away from his little girl.
I know that some of you (those of you who check the blog regularly) have noticed that I haven’t updated the blog in quite some time. The boring truth is that I have been so busy spending time with my precious little girl that I just haven’t had the time for much else. I promise to TRY to be better.
Here are some of the most recent pictures of Brittain. She continues to enrich all of our lives in ways that none of us could ever imagine. It’s amazing to me how this little person, who measures less than 2 feet tall can effect our lives the way that she has and continues to do. I thank God every day for blessing us with her life.
