Today Desta went for her 9th month appointment, albeit a few weeks late. The report? We FINALLY have an average child.
I never thought those words would sound so good. Our little girl is average for her weight (19.8 lbs thank you very much) and average for her height (27.5 inches).
When we brought her home almost 5 months ago, she wasn’t even on the growth chart. She was a pale, very sick, extremely small little girl.
Today we have a girl who even with chronic diarrhea (last week…don’t remind me!) smiles, laughs and LOVES to be in the center of everything. I love average and am so thankful for our average, amazing!! little girl.
I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia.
average is bliss!
What a wonderful BLESSING!!! Praise God!! She is so cute! Thank you for being so REAL on your blog- I enjoy keeping up with it!
What a cuty! We rejoice with you at the transformation that has taken place, by God’s grace, in Desta.
