All day, every day the Italian and I say over and over how much we love little Nicolette. (I guess that's what parents do) But she really is sweeter than I ever imagined our baby could be. She's so incredibly intuitive and really seems to understand what we're talking about. We're having the best time watching her learn and explore and we are constantly amazed when she learns something new. It is such a blessing to be her mommy and I couldn't imagine life without her! We love you Nicolette!
