"There's that beautiful little girl..."

Since Elaina was born we have been stopped by countless people in countless locations who stop to comment on what a beautiful little girl she is. Every piece of her adds to the whole package that makes up her beauty but her most stunning features has always been her dark hair [and lots of it], big blue eyes and delicate, flawless little face. She has literally stopped 'traffic' in stores and such while people fuss over how beautiful she is and call someone over to come look at this baby or little girl. Seeing how she is now 2 1/2 we've become accustomed to this sort of thing and as long as people don't violate the personal space or get too weird or crazy with her, I [we] thank them for the compliment and are on our way.

I have used Sam's Photo lab several times to print off pictures I've taken of the kids whether it's their milestone pictures or snap shots. Many times it's the same lady there that checks me out. Today we were doing some shopping at Sam's Club to get ready for the baby. Elaina was in the shopping cart which my Mom was pushing and I had stopped to look at some kites. Once I caught up to them, my Mom tells me that a lady just came up to her and said "there's that beautiful little girl whose Mom takes so many cute pictures of." She laughs and joked saying, "Wow Jana, that's pretty pathetic she recognizes Elaina in the store from ALL your pictures." We had a good laugh and continued on shopping. A few minutes later she came walking back towards us said hi to me and was talking about Elaina and how beautiful she was. I told her what my Mom and I had just said and she said, "No, I don't blame you for taking all those pictures, her eyes are just so beautiful and stunning, how could you forget them?" Then she talked to Elaina and told her how beautiful she was and that she loved seeing pictures of her and her handsome brother.

We thought it was pretty funny, not the first experience like this, so I decided to write this one down so I don't forget it. I think she's pretty dang adorable but I do have a biased opinion. :)
