January 1985 Happy New Year......

Today is January 5th, 1985.

It's a Saturday and Daddy's at work, our sweet baby Shanelle is sleeping and I just finished baking some home made banana bread. The whole apartment smells so delicious. I'm sure the neighbor's can even smell it.

New Year's eve was so nice. We got to babysit Nicole for a little while. She was just really looking at you and even helped me burp you. She was not quite sure she liked me nursing you. You two little girls are just so sweet, I'm just loving every moment with the two of you. I hope you grow up to be really close like me and my sister are.

Dad and I want shopping today to buy a Video Player. It's called a Video Cassette Recorder. It's really nice. Mommy and Daddy had the reception of our wedding taped and now we can watch it. I can't wait to see how adorable we looked. I hope you can see the love that we felt that day on the video shine thru on the video. I was a very happy Bride, and I was marrying my very favorite person in the whole wide world. I love your Daddy!!!!

The last days of 1984.

It's the end of December and we are counting our blessings, and so happy 1984 was such a wonderful year. Having a baby girl in our lives, something that we created is just truly the most amazing feeling ever in this whole entire world. I have never loved so strongly and deeply. I'm amazed at my sweet little family. I love you Stephen, Amy and Sweet Baby Shanelle xoxoxo
Love, Momma xo

January 29, 1984 Saturday..

Daddy and I started taping some of your baby cries, and we even got you sucking on your hand tonight. such a cute stage you are in. You took hold of my finger on one hand and squeezed, and you took hold of my other finger on my other hand and were opening and closing your hand. Opposite things with both hands. Daddy and I noticed that you are moving your arms alot more, and you love to kick you legs. You have been rolling your head from side to side when you're in your bassinet. You even try to stand straight up when Daddy holds you. He Loves to call you little Bambino. It sounds so cute when he calls you that. You even seem to smile alot more. You also seem to be a really happy baby!!! That makes your Momma so very happy!

Daddy and I gave you your first shower, Daddy and I had to both hold you so you wouldn't wiggle out of our arms. You are so active with your arms and legs now you are such a little mover and shaker and such a little cutie pie.... I'm so in LOVE!
