Aww that is so sweet. I am glad her billi levels are finally clearing up. We have been going every day and Landon's keep climbing, so im really nervous about tomorrows results.

She is gorgeous, and im glad james is doing so great with her. Our older son has been throwing some major tantrums since we brought the baby home, so im hoping he calms down soon.

CONGRATS again mama on your adorable family!
