"The Little Bean"
Just a few sweet pics I took today of "The Little Bean!" Where has the time gone? As she will tell you she is almost 4.5. Our baby girl has been home for 17 months already. Next week will be the anniversary of her tethered cord surgery, and her earned "Agitated Empress" status at Children's Hospital! She is doing so well in every way. I wish I could express in words how joyful this little girl is. Clearly God protected her spirit. She spent the first full three years of her life in an orphanage. She shared a room with 20 other children.. She never fed herself a meal before we met her... I think God protected her sweet little heart, and He put some very special caregivers in her life until we could bring her home. We are so thankful for that!
Emme is a tiny little peanut. 28.5 pounds and wearing a size 2T (barely). There is nothing tiny about her though.. She might be little, but she is no pushover. She is loud and funny! She can stomp her feet to voice her feelings with the best of them!!! She has learned the words, "I am MAD" when she is frustrated.. There is something incredibly funny about it when she is standing with her arms folded in front of her.. Adorable even when she is MAD! Most of the time though, Emme is happy and sweet. She loves to help and to please. The first one to help me with anything. Serving other is definitely one of her gifts... Can't wait to see what God has planned for our sweet girl!
Emme's favorite things: She loves babies (seriously any baby we meet.) She loves, her Daddy, her Mama, her sisters (especially her "A-gee!"), learning about Jesus, "My Bella," school, baby dolls, her pink teddy, chocolate, and all things girly! When we pull into the school parking lot she gets a big smile on her face and says very enthusiastically, "Thank you Mama!" When I pick her up or I have not been home to tuck her in she will say dramatically, "I missed you Mama!" Emme Jade has taught me to be joyful in all things... I love how God uses the tiny and mighty to teach us, refine us, and to inspire us! Emme Jade - you are SO LOVED!
