This is my beautiful 4 month old daughter, Mercedes. Isn't she wonderful? It's hard not to fall head over heels with a smile like that!

She was born on September 30th at 3:58 a.m. She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was a tiny bit over 20" in length.

Her name is of Latin origin and means "Merciful". We named her after my grandmother, my dad's mom. Apparantly not a day went by when she (my grandmother) wasn't called "Mercy" and so, that is this little princess's nickname too.
