As per usual I am a little behind again in posting about Shirley. Poor second child. I'm definitely not planning on doing the monthly update again, maybe just a monthly picture.
Usually I'm the one taking the pictures around here, but the one above was taken by her daddy! I love that you can see her little teethies. This month Shirley started pulling herself up on furniture, my legs, the dogs...okay not the dogs, she doesn't even know the dogs, but she'll pretty much pull herself up on anything.
This little girl is such a character. She makes the funniest noises and faces and she finally started saying "ma ma ma". No, she doesn't know what it means yet, but someday! She also learned how to clap and wave to friends.
Before I fell asleep last night I was looking at the picture of when I first met Shirley. I will never forget that moment. All those nine months I was wondering what she'd look like and what her little personality would be, and then I was so surprised to see that to me, she didn't look like either Kwacha or me, she just looked like her own person. And now nine months later I just can't believe there was a time when she didn't exist. I love her so much and daily thank God for her. He is so kind and loving to give us such wonderful gifts.
