Shimri

Shimri is our little lady. The way she holds her body and her hands, the way she babbles and laughs, everything about her is dainty, delicate, and proper. Except that she grunts like some primal animal when she’s eating before bed, which we find hilarious. It took her a while to become accustom to this mortal life but she seems to have accepted it now. She has the most serious face when she’s faced with a new situation or person and really studies it out before passing judgement on it. Strangers think I’m joking when they comment on how serious she looks and I tell them she’s judging them. Because she is. She’s definitely judging them. And she deems most new people unworthy for quite a while. Which makes the smile she gives me every time I get her out of the crib that much more meaningful. She thinks I’m worthy.

I am so grateful for this little girl in my life. It is going to be so much fun to watch the world from her perspective.
