11 Months for Deia

She’s not just walking. She’s running. Or attempting to, at least. Hence the 4 black and blue marks on her head. And the scrapes on her arms and knees. And she may get us kicked out of TJ Maxx and get us some dirty looks when we are at a quiet restaurant, but she is also such a JOY to be around. She laughs at me (thank goodness someone does!), she handles rough-housing from her brother and papa very well, she gets so many nice comments from people about her smile and how she’ll look people in the eyes, and she is independent. What a gift you are, Deia! Even your fierceness we love….. And after all, I think I may know who you got it from.

“And though she be but little,

she is fierce.” – Shakespeare
