My Little Joy, Full of Joy

 "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

- Psalm 118:24

 

"A happy heart makes the face cheerful..."

- Proverbs 15:13a

 

 

Madi's little heart overflows with joy.  I love watching her every little move, and you very rarely see her without a smile.  She is always singing, smiling, laughing, hugging, and is so very sweet.  She doesn't let a little thing like spina bifida get her down!  Here's a recent video from Jumpstreet, a local indoor trampoline play place.  That girl lights up the room!

 

 

(We hold her and jump, but her favorite thing to do is go down the trampoline at the top, so she does it about 100 times each visit :))

 



 



Her first laugh

Today Madi laughed her very first (awake) laugh and it was adorable!  She started cracking up, but it scared her, so she ended up crying and laughing at the same time.  I wish I could have gotten it on tape, but we were at physical therapy at the time and I didn't have my video camera with me, or even my phone.  She is growing up so quickly!  I am glad I take every moment I can to hug her, hold her, and enjoy these little moments with her.  She is one amazing little girl!
