On Wednesday night, I burned 2 CD’s full of Ripley’s photos to give to Teresa’s parents. I put all the photos we have of Ripley; from the ultra-sounds to the ones we took last week. It’s amazing how much she has changed. We just bought Ripley a new rocket ship (what we call her car-seat) because she out grew her first one. I saw a photo from Thanksgivings Day of 2009 where she barely took up half her first car-seat. It blew me away.
I can’t believe in just another 5 ½ weeks, Ripley will be one year old. God has blessed us with such a great little girl. This past year has taught me a lot on relying on God. After being just 5 days olds, we found out that Ripley was born with her lower intestines reversed. It’s called mal-rotation and on her 10th day she was in CHKD and having surgery. God carried Ripley, Teresa, and I through the surgery and recovery. There is no tell-tell sides of this condition other than a 2 inch scare that is barely noticeable. God is good.
Teresa’s aunt gave us the DVD series “So Your Baby Can Read” so Teresa has been watching it with Ripley. If you are not aware of this series, it helps children plan to read. We are in the first DVD which you watch until the child is 14 months old. Ripley is really learning; she is clapping all the time (one of the thing on the DVD) and yesterday she is starting to try to wave. She is very cute doing it. I’m praying that she has Teresa’s ability to learn fast and loves to read. She already has her beauty and now I’m hope she has Teresa’s brains. Poor girl has my energy level so she is always moving like her daddy.
Below are the newest photos of Ripley in action.
