Some of the highlights:
- She has two bottom teeth.
- She is starting to eat solids now, such as rice porridge, strawberries and bread.
- She is using furniture to help her walk.
- She is imitating speech sounds.
- She likes to play peek-a-boo.
The report mentioned that she's a "mama's girl" and is shy around strangers. And then it ended with "she is a happy, smart, and pretty girl."
The update was like a burst of sunshine on to the dark, cloudy day we were having yesterday. Although I had tears like rain just streaming down my face as I read it. The update gave us the chance to take a peek into her life right now. I could almost see her in front of me waddling around her home, and happily chewing on strawberries. It made me so happy but yet made me realize that it was possible to even miss her more than I have been!
I am so thankful to the agency in Korea for sending over the report and giving us the chance to connect to our daughter. I am overjoyed that she is able to be a "mama's girl" with her foster mom. What a loving heart our baby has! I'm also so thankful for how wonderful and loving her foster mommy is with her. But to honest, I felt sad at the same time, thinking about the pain we may cause her little heart when we come to take her away from the only mama she knows. I prayed last night that God start preparing her heart to love us and that there will be room in there to love all of us from the very first moment we all come together.
Thank you Lord for watching over Emerson. She is just thriving and growing so wonderfully, and we know that it is all You. It's so hard to be apart from her and feel like we can't be there to raise her, but I'm reminded that she is your child too. Thank you for blessing all of us by placing her in such a loving foster home. Please bless her foster mommy and family for loving our little girl so much.
