It's wild to understand that one year has passed already. When I close my eyes I can still feel the kicks and rolls and hiccups in my tummy and remember the butterflies that joined in on that rainy morning we walked into the delivery room. The journey that brought us to that day was an adventure for sure... and now 13 months later, we continue on that wild ride.
Here is my Leona Aina Adorae.. just one day old in the hospital in Sweden. We planned to give birth in India where we lived but had lots of complications and went home to my husband's hometown for my final trimester and delivery. Even though I was as sick as a dog for 9 months and had a really hard delivery, I loved the whole experience!
Leona is the sweetest and funniest girl! She is a true missionary... always content and enjoying life no matter where we are in the world! She loves baby dolls, eating, reading books, talking to everyone and taking walks. She finally started crawling one week before her birthday and flies through the house getting into everything now! Her first word was "mama" and then "dada" and is now learning mostly Swedish... she points and says "DÄR!" whenever we ask where something is... even if she doesn't know the answer.
This year was a special birthday. On April 15th Leona turned 1, her daddy turned 30 and her great grandma turned 70!
Just beautiful. She is a lovely girl. Blessings always.
