Feb 6th

Today was my daughter's due date to have her baby!  But my beautiful grand daughter is almost two weeks old already.  That's right Mariella Sky arrived on January 26th just shy of midnight!  I don't think she was early or anything like that as she weighed a healthy 7.5.  I think they may just have been off on my daughter's due date and we already went for her first Drs appt and she is doing great.  I love watching Amanda with her I can tell she is head over heels over her baby and I know this because Amanda has fantasized about being a mommy since she was a little girl.   And Ella like her mommy is a good baby who seldom cries and just sleeps and eats or looks around at her new world.  She has a smidgeon of dark hair covering her tiny head and what looks promising as blue eyes but too soon to tell.  I was there when she was born supporting my daughter and I held her when she was minutes old.   I can't wait to share every little bit of her new life now.  My only regret is that Sam is not here to see this little miracle and to be called Grampy Stone.  : (
