Jeremiah celebrated his first year of life yesterday!! And what a life he has to celebrate! His first few months were fraught with abandonment and desperation, but now he has been met with acceptance and unconditional love!
He doesn't look so happy in this picture. He didn't care for the hat.
And to add to his special day, he started walking!! His first steps were actually taken the day before; two and three steps. But what a difference a day makes! He was walking all over the place and loving every minute of it! We don't know if he was more excited about his new accomplishment or the excited attention he was receiving as a result.
We love you, Jeremiah! (aka Meremiah, Miah-Miah, na Baba) You a very special boy and you make us smile each time you smile! We love to hear your loud, giggly scream when you are playing with your sisters.
You are our first big boy at Haven of Hope and we so blessed that you joined us. We will remember you always...as the serious little man who grew into a joyous little boy who shares that joy with all of your family. It will be such an exciting day when you are able to share it with your forever family!
Jeremiah, you were given your special name because we believe in the Lord's promise for you...that He knows the plans He has for you; plans that will prosper you, plans that offer you a hope and future! (Jeremiah 29:11) I pray you always remember that...that you DO have a Hope and future in Jesus Christ! I can't wait to see the strong man that you will go to be. God's plans for you are GREAT!
We love you, little man!
Mama Trena and all of your HOH family (and your Auntie Jackie in America)
