Thankful Day 4

4.  Anna Reaghan
My mini-me.  I always wondered what it would be like to have a little girl.  And now I have a little baby who even looks like I do (well, she looks like I did as a baby, at least).

Anna Reaghan's grins are out of this world and her little belly laugh/chuckle cracks me up.  You can't help but smile!  While I don't know as many ins and outs of her personality and who she is yet compared to my knowledge of Asa, I can't wait to learn more and more about her!  I know she lights up at the sight of her daddy and her big brother--she loves them dearly like I do.  I am thankful that she is a healthy baby and that she doesn't seem to be struggling with eating the way it turned out Asa did.  I am thankful for her closet full of pink and purple (and every other color of the rainbow), and the tiny ribbon bows that adorn her hair (until Asa steals them).  I'm thankful for her chatter as she kicks and looks around her world.  And I'm even thankful she feels so secure with Mommy that getting her to nap out-of-arms is our current uphill battle... well, getting her to do *any*thing out-of-arms is currently a battle.  We'll not give up (sorry, sweet girl), but I am thankful the reason it is hard is because she loves being snuggled up in my arms.

Anna Reaghan, I am so thankful for YOU and know you will stretch and teach me so many things, just as Asa has!
