My sweet girl turned TWO on Saturday. She has had my heart since before she even existed. She is fierce. She knows what she wants. She loves hard. She smiles big. She catches every detail of the activities of her sisters. She is my precious baby.
We named her Nadia Faith. Nadia means hope. I wrote a little about what hope means to me in my last post. This girl really does define hope for me. It was my hope to have another child. It was my hope that she would be healthy. It was my hope that she would show happiness. It was my hope that she would walk soon. She has done ALL of these things! Yes, she has walked!
Isn't that just wonderful to see?!?! We found out at the last therapy session what may be going on with her. So your movement and anxiety pathways are right next to each other in your brain. Sometimes, the signals going down the pathway overlap to the other. The therapist believes that some movements cause great anxiety for Nadia. I agree! I was telling Michael about it and we think Julia deals with this a bit too. We just need to keep her moving to get her used to it. She suggested ballet or gymnastics as she gets older, even though she probably won't like it!
I am just so thankful for this girl! She is God's gift to us and I know He has grand plans for her future. She has taught me so much already and I'm humbled to be her mother. She gives me great hope!
