Naomi was turning 1! Happy Birthday Naomi!!
Naomi and Anna were 'roommates' in Ethiopia and after each travelling 7500 miles, they live about 5 miles apart. When they first saw each other, Anna had this great squeal, as if she was saying,"Hi Friend! I've missed you. Let's play!"
They are one month apart in age, so it is my hope that these girls will be life long friends. What a sweet 'wink' from God to have a friend so close who came from the exact same circumstance that you came from. I'm excited to watch these two grow up together!!
We're so excited too that another one of Anna's 'old friends' will be coming home soon! Her mom Beth passed court on Monday and will travel soon! Eden, we can't wait for you to get home- it's long over due!!!
Anna's been going to therapy 3 days a week. She's been doing really well and now is able to sit up by herself for up to 5 minutes- I'm a proud momma!! One of my co-worker and her now 3 year old daughter, Morgan, have been praying for Anna for a long time. On Friday, Mogan stopped by to meet Anna- it was so very sweet. And Anna appreciated the break from her Occupational therapy session! Thanks for all your prayers sweet Morgan!
Yes, that's a tear on Anna's cheek- she's not a fan of working. During this session, Morgan saved her from playing with blocks and shaving cream! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Loved this post! How amazing that Anna and Naomi have come from Ethiopia to Tennessee together!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd way to go Anna!!!! So proud of her sitting up! Julie, she is truly blessed to have you as her mama. You have all the knowledge, love and patience that she needs for her specific circumstances... you are amazing!
What sweeties!!! Our daughter will turn 1 in July...it is so nice to see pictures of a little girl her age. HOW neat they followed each other all around the world. Such cuties!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I didn't know she had an ET buddy right here in town! That is amazing.
ReplyDeleteLook at her hair! And her belly! She's way ahead of Eden on that! It's probably a good thing our girls won't be able to talk to each other yet. I can just hear them complaining about their mean mommies who won't just hold them all the time and make them learn to do things like sitting up and standing up and walking and talking! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like everything is going well.... Jodi
