A Day at Rowell Ranch!








As we drove up to the house on Rowell Ranch Road, butterflies filled my tummy. How was Kami going to react when she saw her paw-paw? Was she going to cry big crocodile tears? Was she going to be scared? Or was she going to be playful and loving? The last few times she spent time with her paw-paw, she acted scared, and cried every time he got near her. Needless to say, I was embarrassed. Well, as we walked up to the sitting area outside, the tears came a-comin'. That little face just wrinkled up and turned red as she wailed, tears streaming down her face.




Here we go again.


I decided I was not going to let it freak me out or stress me. Babies just do weird things, and this was just a phase. I took her inside and let her play with her toys. Anytime Kenny popped his head into the room, boom! There came the tears.

Whaaaaaaaa!

Then, something incredible happened.

A couple of hours after we arrived, she stopped screaming at Kenny. He tickled her and did this Donald Duck voice, and she actually smiled. Then, he played peek-a-boo and the smile got even bigger. Eventually, that smile turned into giggles and laughter. By mid-afternoon, she couldn't get enough of her paw-paw!! He took her outside and started kicking the soccer ball with Josh while she looked on, laughing and having a great time. After that, he grabbed her hands and helped her walk. This lasted for a long time. She is sooooooo close to walking. At one point, she took four steps while trying to get to Kenny. I don't think she even realized she did it!

Then, at the end of the day. she gave him a huge hug. It was a blessed moment. Enjoy the pics!
