Rosalie Faith is doing amazingly well. I could not have imagined a smoother transition (after the first week of sickness and jet lag). She is so sweet and content. She smiles at anyone who looks at her and endears herself to everyone she meets. As the receptionist at the doctor's office said, "She's so cute, I just can't stop looking at her." She truly is irresistible. She has the deepest belly laugh you've ever heard on a baby. It is contagious. She is very inquisitive. Every day we witness new skills and milestones, hear new sounds, coos, and shrieks of happiness coming from her. Her personality is beginning to shine. She is eating a lot and has already gained weight.
The kids adore her and fight over who gets to "play" with her, (which usually just means shaking a rattle in her face or making her laugh with silly antics). Rosalie was immediately embraced into the folds of the family, both immediate and extended. She is a Williams. It feels natural. It feels right. I look at my little entourage and cannot believe that I have four children. How did this happen?? I'm sure the reality will set in tomorrow when I take them all to Costco for the first time by myself :-)
I think this blog may be wrapping up for a while. It has been a blessing for me to share our story with you and I thank you for caring enough to read. So, until the Dreamgiver reveals His next dream...
"To Him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
according to His power that is at work within us,
to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21
