Maria has been a fantastic baby, we’re very privileged to have her as a part of our family. We decided to refer to her by her full name (her nickname was
Mimi), because Miro’s brother was once married to a woman called
Mimi who wasn’t very nice!
Maria instantly bonded with Olai when she arrived. They are very similar in personality and Olai is always showing her new things. He recently introduced her to Bollywood and had her dancing around to the music playing on our Bollywood videos! Luda has been a good big sister and has always made sure Olai and
Maria are safe. She even insisted she bring
Maria into school for show and tell, at first I was reluctant but then
Miro agreed to.
Maria has not spoken her first word yet, but she has taken her first step. It was a really momentous occasion, and fortunately we captured it all on video! Thank you very much,
Andrew, for giving us such a great little girl!
