I'm amazed at my own reaction. I was overwhelmed when I listened to my voicemail this morning and hear my daughter whispering "papa" into the phone. I nearly broke into tears. I even managed to get it from voicemail to a .WAV file if you want to hear Caroline's first voicemail.
I immediately saved the message and called Heidi to ask how she managed to get Caroline to talk on the phone. She was incredulous. Apparently Heidi had tried to call me earlier, but did not leave a mesage. She then left the room and Caroline picked up the phone, managed to hit redial, listened as the phone rang, heard my voicemail message, and started whispering "papa, papa, papa." Heidi then noticed Caroline had the phone and hung up. She did not know that our daughter had completely melted daddy's heart in those 3 seconds of whispering.
Caroline, honey, I love you so much! I am so excited and overjoyed at the new things you do each day. Watching you grow up is amazing, touching, and educational all at once. You are the sunshine in our every day!
