and there was much rejoicing

after 2 years of speech therapy,

today we heard the "d" &  't" sounds

for the first time.
( she been using "h" instead)

AND 

loud & clear that little princess said

"Daddy" 

Whooot to the Whoooo!

it may sound like a small accomplishment,

but  those are the only sounds we 

had never heard up until today.

God is good,

and this girlie is a hard worker!

last week was another post-op visit.
her nose looks great, and
her palate & gum line still look amazing.
we have 4 more weeks of
the nose stents,
(insert big sigh here)
and a new lip scar treatment plan.
(more to come on that!)

we're in somewhat of a school
routine around here.
reality is tough sometimes.

look at those little angels
quietly doing their work
while I enjoy a cup of coffee and
gaze happily around at
my spotlessly clean house...

a girl can dream, can't she?!
