Phoenix

I've shared Parkers story and the story of Kasey and me, but what about Phoenix? Phoenix was our first little miracle. It took us 2 years to become pregnant with her and when we found out that she was (another) girl, her Grandpa Kevin was overjoyed. (There were 6 granddaughters and only 2 grandsons on this side at the time, and this is a family of hunters). Phoenix was due Oct. 9, 2008, but she was born Sept. 19, weighing a whopping 5lb 4oz. She has been tiny her whole life. At 2 1/2, she has finally made it onto the charts, in the 1% percentile. I could not be more proud of my little beaner. She already knows her "ABCDs", colors, shapes, is potty trained, and can count to 10 by herself, 20 with a little assistance. She picks up EVERYTHING she hears and is a great conversationalist. She loves Mater, Woody, and her babies. She loves to go to church and see "the friends" every week. Phoenix loves her mommy, but no one holds a candle to daddy's flame. She is exactly like I was when I was little. She is a dancin fool, She talks all the time, is pretty sassy, and quite bossy. But I was a good kid over all so I will be lucky if she turns out as awesome as I did. And humble, too.
