Just a little update on our baby girl.
She has been with us for a little over 5 months and she continues to be a delight in each of our lives. She loves giving smiles, snuggles, and kisses.
She loves food and still loves her coffee
(love those Ethiopian roots...)
When she sees Ryder, she always says "Hold it! Hold it!" Then she sits as sweetly as can be and just kisses his head, rubs his tummy and pats his hand. It could not be cuter...
She is definitely a nurturer.
She also wants to do EVERYTHING that her brothers do. If they are involved, she is all in. She misses them when they are gone and will call their names until they respond to her and then she just smiles at them. They are so good with her.
She also has, what should we call it... tenacity. For example, the other night her brothers had finished their dinner and they got a cookie called a JOJO. She was so distracted with wanting a cookie like her brothers had that she did not want to eat anything else and said, though tears and theatrics "JOJO" for almost 40 minutes. Yah, we'll call that tenacity, mixed with some fortitude...
But when she cries with her little curly hair and big eyes and cute little voice it just gets you every time, however, being the house of Italian mothers, we have some tenacity ourselves...
She has moments where she is taking in what is going on around her and will, in her methodical way, jump right in.
We love her so and are so proud to be her auntie and uncle.
We look forward to many years of watching her grow...
