Oh Pat, Congratulations! She's precious.

Your warm wishes are appreciated, Friends!
 

It is especially heartening to hear that you both have strong children who started out in life so small and delicate, Jimmie and Linda. One thing I can say, Taylor, is definately a little fighter!!!

Yes, she makes my Christmas complete!!!

Pat now I see where that wonderful smile in your avatar comes from! I am so happy for all of you - as all said, such a blessing!

To also add to Jimmie and Linda, my preemie twin nieces tower over me too! But then most people do. :)

The most blessed of children have been awarded doting Grandmas to paint their pictures. Congratulations to you both!

Thanks Elizabeth and Marvin! I figure by the time Taylor is old enough to be formally painted (what do "they" say - six months?) I may have enough knowledge to attempt a half decent portrait - by oh baby, by the time she is two or three - LOOK OUT!!!

I was a 4 lb preemie also - and I am hardly frail! Just thought I'd throw that in there. :o

Beautiful baby! Merry Christmas!
