A Stroll Down Memory Lane

Audrey Catherine Amato 6 months old

Audrey is six months old now & weighing in at 15lbs 3oz. She is still in the 25% for weight but has moved up to the 75% for height at 26 1/2 inches. Ryan & I were just talking about how a year ago she was just a little peanut growing inside me. We had no idea what she would look like, act like be like etc & now she is this amazing person who has blessed Ryan & I's life so richly.

Here we are almost exactly one year ago when we were just starting to see Audrey growing!

And below, just a few days before Audrey was born!

Proud Papa.....Audrey only a few minutes old!... you can see in the second picture, Ryan not far from her side!


Our life has FOREVER changed & I cannot begin to describe how good life is. I am constantly reminded of God's love for me through the eyes of this little girl. I am also reminded of her father since she has his big doe eyes! They are also the first thing that light up when she starts to smile (like her daddy).

I used to wonder what she would be like, who she would resemble etc. but I now know that God has an amazing plan for her & I cannot wait to see what part Ryan & I get to play in it as parents of this precious little girl. We speak & pray only good things for her & she is already shaping into this funny, smart (advanced:), successful, wonderful person & she is NOT lacking in personality (as you can tell below).
Ryan & I also feel so blessed to have ALL of our family around her & know that you too will play a part in shaping her into an amazing person. We love you all & thank God for placing you in her & our lives.. for we know that nothing happens by accident!

UPDATE:
We also wanted to thank all our friends who were thinking about & praying for Ryan's precious little cousin Tyler. You will be glad to know that Tyler has been released from the hospital!!! We have not gotten a full update from Chere yet but are glad that he is well enough to go home!!!! He still has fluid around his temple where they operated & seizures daily (although the number has drastically decreased) but the doctors said that it could take up to a year to see the full results of his surgery. We will pass on any info as we get it from Chere. Thank you Lord for watching out & protecting this child of yours. We know that he is in YOUR hands & commit him to you daily. We pray for Chere & her family as they get back into a daily routine, be with them Father. Thank you for this miracle child, use him for YOUR purpose.
