Melissa Amber Seals

At 4 years old, Melissa was all girl - emotional at the drop of a hat.  She also loved horses, geese, ducks, butterflies, fairy tales with princesses, Clifford and his friends, Scooby Doo, and her good friend Madeline.  She was starting to read more and loved to draw.  She also loved to sing.  Having just turned 4, she announced "Soon I will be 5!"

At her pediatric checkup, Melissa was 36 pounds and 45 inches tall.  She was potty-trained, but still not dry at night, which was normal for her age.

Missy and Aaron obviously loved each other, but were also obviously siblings - and not just because they looked similar.  She gave just as much as she got and it got harder and harder to tell who was the agressor with each fight.

Here are the pictures, and there are lots of them because we were using the digital camera more and more:
