Adelyn's 16 Month Birthday!

Sweet Adelyn, you are so precious. Everyone adores your crazy hair! You are full of energy when you are feeling well. We have had some real trouble

this month with your ears but we are hoping to get tubes really soon! I know God must have an amazing plan for your life

 because we have just had so many health problems with you and I feel like Satan wants to get us down but we refuse to let him. When you do feel good and you just smile all the time, it makes my day. As far as I can tell, you are such a tom boy and you are still obsessed with dogs! (Your shirt has a picture of a dog and says, "My BFF." :) )

 You always try to entertain me and you laugh a whole lot. You really do bring joy to our house. You are always wanting to "rough house" with Annabelle and she just doesn't like to do that so it is funny to watch the two of you work it out. Annabelle now calls you "baby jane" which we think is so cute!

 You love Annabelle so much and whenever she hugs or kisses you, your face just lights up. You now know how to say all kinds of words. You try to repeat a lot of things we say. One of your new words this month is purple. I just love it.

It's funny how much you don't sleep these days and normally that would really stress me out but I have learned to enjoy my cuddle time with you in the middle of the night. There is just something about it that warms my heart. I guess it's knowing you need me or maybe just want me to be close to you. It's really sweet. 

Honey, I love you dearly. I can't wait until you are all better which I believe God can and will do for you but my prayer today was even if He decides for you to always be sick with something, I pray I can always have faith that what He is doing is the very best for you. Your life has already taught me so much sweet girl and has brought me so much closer to the Lord. Thank you for that.

Happy 16 months!!
love,
your mommy
