It's incredible to be faced with a newborn baby. They seem to have so much *potential* inside them; there's no way of telling what is behind their eyes. It's just incredible to think that anyone can be that small! I'm so much older than Nell, I'm like a bizarre doting aunt.
I hope that the world is a beautiful place for her. I hope that nothing ever hurts her. I hope that she goes through life with her eyes open, ever thinking, ever questing, ever asking *why*. I hope that she does her best with this wonderful, beautiful accident that is the human consciousness.
Welcome to this crazy thing we call life, Nell Florence Middleton. The world is yours.

With three older sisters, I hope you've got a strong sense of humour and infinite patience - and a good level of stubbornness!
