I hear that her name will be Kate when she is adopted :) She looks like a Kate to me already.
I met Shia (Kate) when I was here last year. She arrived during the last month of my trip. I went over to the House of Peace to play with her often and push her in the swing. This is her in the swing last year.
When I saw Shia this year I was so surprised because she looks so different! I had to do a double take! You see, last year when she arrived she had a hamangioma (mass) on the left side of her face. This year the mass in nearly completely gone! She has not needed anymore treatments since March and is doing great! She is a very quiet, sweet, and reserved little girl. Hopefully she will meet her family shortly as I know they are very anxious to meet her!
My next feature will be Vira, so I will leave you with a few pictures of Vira and Shia together. They weren't too excited about this little photoshoot, so we'll have to try again later ;)

Do you have any bubbles over there? That should help with the pictures, maybe make Vira smile for you :) I can send some with Leslie if you want me to.

I love your blog, tabitha. What a blessing you are to these parents. I know both Shia and Elijah, and so it's so fun to see the pictures! Thank you!!
Thank you, Tabitha!!!!!!! Oh, she's growing up before I can get there. :-(
I have loved checking in on your blog. I know both Shia and Vira's families, and these girls will be loved like crazy when they get HOME! We are so thankful you are there in the meantime.
