New friends: Mirabel Alice the Cute

The other day Cristy came over to me and introduced herself. I had seen her posts on the Seattle Conjenital Heart Defect group, but had never met her. She had her daughter with her - 4 month-old Mirabel Alice, another HLHS baby. And she is cute as a button. She is post-Norwood but pre-Glenn. She is interactive, looks at whoever is speaking (with big eyes) and when you smile at her she smiles back. She looks and acts like any normal baby girl, something Pui and I find very comforting. You can see a lot of pictures of her on her blog (Linked here) but I thought I would post the pictures I got. My only regret is I missed the smile that was on her face just before I took this first picture.


The second picture I think is cute also. I can't think whether it looks like I just took candy from her (I didn't! It was mine to begin with!) Or if she's just getting a head start practicing on her "Please can I have a car for my 16th Birthday" expression. ;-)
