We added 14 new pictures from tonight and yesterday. Go to our flickr page and check them out. There are some really cute ones.

I got to hold my little girl again tonight and attempt to bottle feed her! It was pretty uneventful since she has no clue why I'm sticking something in her mouth right now. But hopefully the little light inside will go off and she'll know what's going on. I can't wait until she's really eating from a bottle! There was one eventful item this evening. My little girl decided it was time to start 'breaking me in' for fatherhood and she decided to pee on me while I was holding her. So that means that so far she's spit up a little on Erik while being held and peed on Erik while being held. Nothing with Nikkie though - but her time will come! :)

Well it's late. I just wanted to updated everyone on our pictures. G'night.

Hello Nikkie,
Other than seeing you and Erik at Wal-Mart that night learning about your preicoius baby Brady, I hadn't seen any of her pictures on her web sight. I wanted to tell you she is beautiful. I can see that see is a very strong little girl and has a strong will. I know God has a purpose for her life and you and Erik will see it fullfilled one day. I know alot of prayers are going up on her behalf and God will honor everyone of them. Just keep your faith up and you will see miracles unfold everyday. I never dreamed when you were 5 years old in kindergarten that i would get to see such a blessing in your life. I will continue to pray for Brady and for God to continue to give you and Erik the strength that you need. Love, Mrs. Joan Powell
