Susannah Colleen

Susannah's turn for 8 things about her.

1. Susannah was born at 29 weeks and 1 day, so she was almost three months early. She weighed 2 lbs 8 oz. when she was born. Yep, half a bag of sugar. So much for Sydney being the tiniest baby I had ever seen. She was so tiny and I was more scared that day than I think I have ever been. She did excellent from day one and was out of the hospital six weeks after she was born.

2. Susannah has always been the kid who loves to make people laugh. It was funny when she was younger though, she would do some of the craziest, funny stuff, but when we laughed she would cry because we were "laughing at her".

3. Susannah was slow to learn to read. I was starting to worry because she just seemed to not be catching on. Finally I figured it out. She didn't have to learn to read because Sydney was always willing to read to her. Once I asked Sydney to not read to her so much, Susannah picked it up very quickly. Now she enjoys reading almost as much as Sydney does.

4. Susannah loves electronics. I know that if I would allow her to she would be playing all day whether it be on the computer, her DS, or another electronic game. She is very addicted to Sims and all things Sims. I think the biggest draw for her is the creating of the characters and the house. She doesn't seem to play the same character for long. The fun is in the creation.

5. Susannah is very tender. She is always concerned about others and their feelings. She has very tender feelings herself. When her and Sydney fight, which is more and more often lately, she had a tendency to allow her temper to take over, but she always feels so bad about it.

6. Susannah is always good with her younger cousins. It is nice to see her taking them by the hand and leading them to the next place to play. She gets so excited when she knows that some of her cousins are coming to visit, whether it be the older ones or the younger ones. She loves to play with all of her cousins.

7. Susannah loves to have her back rubbed. She certainly takes after her mom in that area. She could lay across my lap for hours as long as I am rubbing her back.

8. Susannah is growing into a beautiful and loving person. I am so happy and proud to be her mom.

I love that pic of Susannah because I caught her in the middle of a genuine laugh and it really shows who she is. What a fun, awesome girl! I miss you guys!

She and Sydney are so good with Scotty. I appreciate them playing with him even though they'd probably rather be doing something else. I'm excited to see you guys for awhile this weekend. By the way, it snowed a little last night and more this morning. There is even more in the forecast!!!
