Here are a couple recent pictures of our 2 beautiful kids! Nina is still about the same size as the stuffed animal next to her who we call Katie while Joa is over 90 cm tall and growing!
Compared to the first few weeks as a big brother, Joa has been a lot better, as I am sure Nina would attest to, if she could. Right now he is in the phase of wanting to do everything by himself - whether it is putting on his shoes, taking the cap off of a drink bottle, or carrying the groceries from the store. In that regard, he has become quite helpful...at times, while other times it would be much faster if he would let us help him. All in all, we are enjoying the development of his personality and character.
We often hear from our friends who have older kids that these early years are precious and once they are older, you miss the toddler days. Nina has been great. She is also growing very fast. We notice her ability to recognize her surroundings increasing and her facial features are also becoming more defined. She is looking a lot more like Joa did when he was her age. They definitely are siblings! One thing we pray about daily is for her body clock to become 'normal' ASAP, as she is rather nocturnal in the time being.
As mentioned early though, we are constantly counting our blessings and truly thankful, and reminded to always be grateful during this thanksgiving season.
