My growing niece

Dayla Elizabeth is now five weeks old, though still about four weeks shy of her original due date. But she is doing marvelously well! She's grown from just under three pounds to over four pounds; probably close to four and a half by now.

She's been spunky from the get-go, squirming around like a champ and being a trooper. They say she may be home within a week or so! Look how beautiful she is! This first picture, where she seems to be smiling up at my brother, just melts my heart!
