Let it be known that at 1:45 pm EST on April 25, 2011, Leah SANG.

I sing to her all the time, and today after I stopped each time she would croak out something, so I sang one long note. Something simple, so she wouldn’t feel overwhelmed. And I stopped and smiled big at her, and she opened her mouth real big and a tiny quiet little note came out and then my head exploded.
I will always remember you singing to Leah after she was born. It was such a beautiful moment. I was afraid to move. I was praying no one would walk in the door and make noise. I thought about grabbing my camera but it felt wrong. Leah was looking into your eyes and you were looking into hers like there was no one else in the world. Thank you for allowing me to be there. Sing, Leah, sing!!
