new canadian!

meet one of canada's newest citizens! this photo is from a few weeks ago..........and the next photo is from today! what a great onesie to celebrate in.....and she even wore canada socks too! lilyanna received her passport in the mail yesterday and we didn't even have it for 12 hours before her first trips to visit her families this holiday season were booked. look how happy she is about it all! (mommy is too!) oh.....this smile comes after getting two needles this morning. lilyanna was a trooper. she was even smiling 5 minutes afterwards during a diaper change, while mommy was still blinking away her tears. no mommy should hear the cry her baby makes when getting needles. it's so sad. all is well now. lily (and mommy!) is happy again! (and thinking about our trip!)
