Those eyes.


Paul has such soulful eyes. He is usually smiling, so they are often scrunched up in a merry grin. But this picture shows his soulful look perfectly. Such a precious little boy.
We are so thankful that he survived his rough start to life. He brings lots of joy to our Home with his antics. One of his favorite things to do is to pretend that he is on the telephone. He babbles away, just like he is having a real conversation. He's definitely an imaginative little boy.
Soon we will be celebrating Paul's birthday. It will be a time to rejoice in his life and enjoy the happiness he shares with everyone around him. But we will stop a moment too, and think of the things he has gone through in his first year of life. As well as a playful nature and a great imagination, this  little boy has shown courage and resilience. Perhaps that is what is reflected in those soulful looks he sometimes gets. We are so proud of you Paul. We know it's been a tough year in a lot of ways, but you have grabbed hold of life with both hands. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
