sweeter than strawberry pie (part III, family edition)

 

 

Here's to a sweet 6 month old who gives and receives so many smiles.

Sister Abenah is a sweet tempered til hungry,

must be in the middle of the action,

feed me whatever you are eating,

take me wherever you are going,

make that silly face again,

paper-eating,

nose pinching,

hair pulling,

glasses nabbing,

banana-chomping,

water-slurping

little lady.

She has conquered rolling and scooting backwards.

She ventures onto her knees sometimes but bellyflops back down quickly.

She loves baths in the sink when the dishes are done.

She loves meals by Elle & baths by Max.

She is the sweet strawberry of her Daddy's eye.

I lean in to every sticky fingered snuggle, as she rubs her spitty chin into my neck.

This child. This one we have prayed and hoped for.

She is an enormous blessing wrapped up in sparkly eyes and sweet pink skin.

 

 And these children.

Though they've grown past the age of baby, they are a sweet treat.

 

Thanks to Benita for the props!
