Vera is Six!

September 4, 2016 by Aliesha

DSC_7620copysmOn August 19, Vera turned six years old!

We’re so thankful for the beautiful young lady Vera is becoming.  She keeps us laughing with her big vocabulary, thoughtful questions, and hilarious stories!

Vera is a wonderful big sister to her three siblings, and she’s really grown a lot this year in setting a good example for the younger ones.  She’s a great role model!

Her big personality and thoughtful nature are just a couple of the reasons we’re glad God put her in our family!  Life would be boring without Vera in it!

Vera, we love you LOTS!  Happy 6th birthday!

Some milestones:
-pulls up on furniture
-claps his hands
-waves
-babbles some (mostly “dadadada!” but some other sounds too)
-loves to eat!!
-enjoyed splashing in the pool last week
-nurses 5-6 times a day
-takes 2 naps a day
-has 1 tiny curl on the back of his headDSC_7381copysm

He’s such a happy boy and we’re thankful God put him in our family!
