It just melts my heart to see little girls smile.  And I have yet to meet a little girl who smiles and laughs more than Lani.  I met Lani and her sweet parents, Denise and Ted, at Heather Farms Park in Walnut Creek and had so much fun spending the morning with them.  I was so impressed – Lani is quite the talented acrobat!  Even though she has not yet started to walk or stand up on her own, she can balance all by herself on her daddy’s hand!  I have no doubt she’ll be doing cartwheels on her first birthday!

Every time I meet a new baby, I am always surprised by how small they are – just this perfect little soul you can hold with one hand.  The first time I met Harper, I felt the same way.  You can’t help but simply stare at her, oohing and ahhing over every little movement she makes.  (And really, who can resist the urge to nestle her in a bed of colorful hydrangeas?)  I am so excited for her mommy and daddy, Ryan and Ryane, for their newest little addition to the family.
