Lasa Love at 4 Months

Our sweet, chunky bundle of love turns 4 months old today. On Thanksgiving! 

We are so thankful to have her in our home this holiday season. She grows more and more delightful every month.  We adore her and are praying for her momma to heal quickly so she can spend these precious days with her girl herself as soon as possible!
