We are beyond blessed to have Gabriella as our daughter! The longer she is home with us the more apparent it is that God created this little girl for our family! Her laughter and giggles fill our home with joy. The way she likes her sweet tea and southern style strawberry pie is just precious! Watching her interact, love on and yes sometimes even fight with her brothers makes her the most perfect little sister. Lately when she wakes up before us she will come and kiss us on the cheek to wake us up, this is from a little girl who spent her first two months with us wiping our kisses off that we would give to her. Though she is still quite the independent little girl, the independence of wanting to feed, bathe and dress herself on a regular basis has softened as she has allowed us to become part of her life. I have the privilege of giving her a bath, dressing her and on occasion, even though she is preparing to turn three, she will open her mouth like a baby bird and allow us to feed her. She is everything we ever prayed for and so much more. She is our daughter who God solely created for our family and we are eternally thankful:)
