Lyla Laughs

Well I had planned to stay with Lyla during the 10 day wait.  I was ready!!  But unfortunately our 10th day lands on a Holiday here so we can not start the passport process until the 28th of this month.  DARN IT!!!!  So I would be here a whole month.  Impossible!!!  UGH!!!!  I have to go home with Dave and even though I am so excited to see all my treasures at home I hate that I am leaving Lyla.   Torn???  Oh Yes, I am Torn!  But we have made the decision and I am headed home after court. 

Our sweet princess is changing - changing - changing.  Each visit she is more alert and stronger.  So AMAZING!!!  She is able to sit up a little longer each time too.  The best CHANGE is she is starting to LAUGH.  Up until today she would try and laugh but then she would cry.  Talk about heartbreaking.  It seemed that it hurt her to laugh.  So we really didn't try to tickle her or anything that might make her laugh.  Well this morning I was kissing her neck and I noticed her breathing changed.  Dave & Tay pointed out quickly that she was laughing.  Oh it is a very weak laugh - but it's a LAUGH for sure!! 





Oh My!!!  This girl is such a Miracle!!! 
I am so Crazy In Love With Her!!!

  5. Does Taylor and Kostya live close enough that they can continue visits in your absence and if so would it be allowed?
