Nearly 9 Months

Naomi,

You'll be 9 months in 4 days. How did that happen? You are growing into such a beautiful girl. I could stare at you for hours on end. How did your dad and I get the honor of being your parents? We are so grateful for you.

You are so kind. So forgiving. So gentle. So content. I pray you always hold onto those traits - I have a feeling you will.

You have been progressing rapidly since starting physical therapy. It's been harder for your dad and I to see the progress since we see you every day, but your therapist, Serena, has been so encouraged by how far you've come. She has made comments such as, "Naomi is the fastest progressing kid I've ever worked with, and I've been doing this for over 20 years."

We are anxious for you to get stronger, for you to hold up your head and smile at us. It will come. We know it will.

You continue to amaze us. God at work in you and through you is an incredible thing to witness. 9 months in, and it still humbles me on a daily basis.

We love you to the moon, the stars, and beyond.

xo,
Mom

p.s.- you started eating solids last week. You can put away an avocado like a pro. So proud of you.
