Hi! I finally get to go to the beach.

This is the second time, that I can remember, Iliana has been to the beach. We have avoided it for the past 2 years because whenever she gets overheated, she begins to seize. She likes sitting in her chair and playing in the sand. She wasn't actually waving, I just happened to catch her with her hand up. She sits in this chair very well and is very content. As soon as she heard the waves today, she began to mimic their sound. One of the possible side effects of her illness at birth was that she could suffer a loss of hearing. She had her hearing tested last week, and all seems well.
What a wonderful blessing to know that even though she can't speak to me (YET), she knows she is loved because God has allowed her to hear it from me. However, the Lord gives us hope (wink*) that we will hear those I love you's uttered from her lips one day.
