Saturday, November 15th--After leaving "Disney on Ice" we headed over to Dustin and Crystal's house so Nate and Brady could see baby Danika. They just got home from the hospital this afternoon. Brady was feeling much better today, definitely making up for the energy he had no desire to exert yesterday. We asked if it was okay to bring him over and they said it would be fine, just to keep him away from Danika's face. We lucked out, he didn't really want to be around the baby, instead he ran laps around their kitchen! Silly boy! Crystal looked pretty tired--Danika's a hungry little girl! She wants to nurse a little more than expected. She slept the whole time we were there. She looks like a very, sweet little angel! My heart just melted when Nate was holding her. He's so wonderful with babies, he really enjoys cuddling and holding the little ones. Hopefully, he'll have one of his own, again, in the next year. Elise was a little on the grumpy side so she didn't want to hold Danika. Between Energy Solutions Center and the Trax station she lost her most favorite blanket, one she has had for almost 4 years. It was very upsetting to her so we promised to stop at Target or Walmart after we left Dustin and Crystal's house to get her a new one. She picked a soft, pink "blankie" and all is well with the world again!
While holding Danika we talked about her name and how they came up with it. Danika, or Danni (sp?) as she'll be known, is named after my father-in-law, Dan. I sure both of them will agree what an honor it is to share their name with each other. Dan is an incredible man and deserves to have this beautiful little girl named after him. I have no doubt she'll live up to the honor! Danni is the 9th grandchild born into the Dan & Rosemary Armstrong family. They now have 5 grand-sons and 4 grand-daughters.
