title: Merry Christmas, Nia & Vito. My Earliest fondest memories of my children are: Nia: We thought it would be cute to have you sleep with us when you were like 1 year old. Big mistake, you where a physically aggressive sleeper that would flip and twist and hit us.. *Hard*. We didn't know what hit us at first, so we laid in wait to see and sure enough *POW* , We were like Yooooo that's crazy haha, and back to your crib u went. <3 Vito: You were an incredibly happy baby, beyond happy. You where like 6 months and mom decide to put a mirror in your crib. Soon enough we heard you laughing your bootie off. We went in to peak and you were hauling yourself up to see what that was and seeing your reflection just laughing , big time. So many good times, so many good memories. ~LOve ~DAd. Excluding watching you be born. Your birthing doctor was the same for both. Nia as soon as you where born and cleaned up, the doctor was checking you and had you on your stomach , and all of a sudden you lifted your self up and lifted your head, and the doctor freaked out and stepped back. I looked at him, and he looked at me wild eyed, and said a new born cant do that...... I looked at him very seriously and reassured him it was ok. He was dumb founded. Vito: You came out just the same, and the doctors first words to me, was like wow you are to beautiful, to perfect, he had not seen anything like you. ~LOve ~DAd Both of you were a blessing of extraordinary circumstance. It seems I am forbidden from having anymore. But, you never know what blessings may come again., or what may be needed again. ~LArry
