An Angel Wrapped in Pink

On December 14th 2009 a tiny baby girl angel weighing 7 pounds 6 1/2 ounces was placed into my arms at 11:24am. At this time I didn't know she was an angel only that she resembled one! She was perfect and looked just like her daddy. It had been 8 years since my first daughter Shaely was born so everything was all new to me and I would have to learn how to care for Keely like she was my first all over again. Little did I know that along the way Keely would be teaching her mommy and daddy things that no one ever thought a tiny baby could posess. Keely is my 2nd daughter and Scott's first, following 2 sons! Instantly she became daddys little girl and at that moment he knew that he would keep Keely under his wing and protect her always as fathers always do with their daughters. We brought her home 2 days after she was born and from there on in our earth began to revolve around this little angel. She had been brought into a loving family of a mommy, daddy, 2 brothers and 1 sister...she was the centre of attention! Keely would celebrate her very 1st Christmas 10 days after she was born and she made that Christmas of 2009 one of the best ever! As days went on Keely grew but she grew very slow. I didn't mind this as I loved babies, any babies and I especially loved tiny doll like babies just like my new little one. All the while Keely had my undivided attention and my world was now hers and we became one. As Keely grew to be a few months old she was starting to smile, talk and her eyes always had such a huge impact on everyone including total and complete strangers. On every outing no matter whether we went to the grocery store, hockey game or just out to dinner she drew people into her and brought alot of attention. Most would comment on her eyes, her beautiful eyes and how beautiful she was. Scott and I both know how much attention babies can bring but with Keely it was almost unreal with the attention she got from people. We would often talk about comments people would make and how wierd it seemed. At 5 months old Keely smiled, talked, socialized and ate like any other 5 month old would. She got to where she could hold up her head and her movements were never rapid or hyper like some babies but mature for her age. Our life was really happy and almost surreal at times. I've learned and seen that babies always bring happiness, joy and enrich peoples lives and this is just what Keely had done to ours! Her future was our destiny, Or so we had hoped.......
