Maleia was 7 months old when we held her for the first time. She has now been home with us for half of her life! There are times when I see young infants and I get sad that I didn't get to experience Maleia as a newborn. I know that God protected her. She was loved by many including her birthmother, aunt, and countless Special Mothers at Hannah's Hope. I wonder how many arms she fell asleep in before mine? She insists that I hold her to fall asleep ( I know, bad habit...but honestly, I love it and wouldn't want it any other way!)
Everything about her is wonderful. I love her HUGE smile, gorgeous brown eyes, adorable giggle, the way she MUST lay on someone who is laying down, her insistence on reading book after book to her, her ring of curls on the back of her head, her plump tooshie, how she holds my hands when I give her a bottle, her content disposition, and her little voice calling out, "Mama!" Her Gotcha Day, November 3, will always be just as special as her birthday to me. She finally found a forever home in my arms.
Could she BE any cuter?!? OH MY!! She is lovely Kendra!!
