A familiar face


Avery had a rough day today. Her first nap was at 1:45 (normally 2:45 due to daylight savings) and she only slept for about 30 minutes on my lap during sacrament meeting. So needless to say she was a little tired and kind of grumpy. I had to take her out during relief society meeting due to her bursting into tears. So I took her into the foyer and sat down in a chair. She kind of settled down and starting looking over at this picture of Christ and then waving. (She has pretty recently started waving....well actually just stretching out her hand and moving her wrist. Its how she greets her daddy when he comes home from work). It really calmed her down and she just keep looking over. It was such a sweet moment. It reminded me of how close little children are to our Heavenly Father and Saviour and brought tears to my eyes. We are so grateful for the blessing of having a healthy beautiful baby girl.

That is so touching. Thanks for sharing that special moment. And I wasn't aware of this, but my dad recently told me that according to Neal A. Maxwell, there is no veil for babies. It's only when they begin talking that the veil begins to form. So Avery is just remembering her older brother, Jesus Christ.
