behind a name

*and if you're wondering who that guy is coming out of my 
grandma's backside, that would be my dad :)*

Sylvia
(SIL-vee-uh)

Which means from the forest.

And that woman up there?
One of the most special people that ever walked this earth.
And her name was Sylvia.

She was my best friend.
And at the age of 13, she passed away.

She was an incredibly wonderful woman.
Patient, loving, kind.

Everything that I hope my little girl turns out to be.

So this little baby that Jason and I are having?

Her name is Sylvia Jo.

After my grandmother.
I can't wait for my baby girl to know who she is named after and what a legacy she carries. :)

And you ask where 'Jo' comes from?
My beautiful sister, Colby Jo.

For short, we're calling her Sylvie.

My daughter has such a wonderful name, with so much love tied to it.
I just know she's going to love it. :)


So...what do you think!?
