Happy Easter all the way from Haiti!


I guess getting my Happy Easter update today is better than not getting any update all… If our Province would let us get our updates directly from our orphanage, I would of got it on Good Thursday, but when we have to deal with people who like to control... you get the updates later. Ah well, I am a very happy Mama!

She is growing so fast. I had tears in my eyes when I opened the email and saw her beautiful smile.
Here is the update enjoy!

This was in her update for April 2011. Berline loves to go for walks with her volunteer. She is very observant and will watch everything that is going on around her. Another of Berline’s favorite things is the swings. Whenever she is grumpy, needs a nap, or is not feeling well the best way to sooth her is putting her in the swing.



Her smile lights up whenever you call her name. It is really amazing how well she focuses on faces and respond to her name. She is truly adored by her nannies and volunteers because of her incredible smile and giggle.


Berline has begun to cry when she is taken back to the nursery or not picked up when she wants to be. She definitely knows how to make her voice heard and is learning very quickly how to get what she wants. She is a very bright girl! She is also started to thin down. She has lost a lot of her baby fat and is beginning to look more and more like a little Toddler. I will be sure to keep you updated on her crawling and walking progression. Right now she is taking steps with assistance and is very good at holding herself up against furniture. She loves to bounce in the Johnny jumper chairs to strengthen her legs.
It has been fun to see Berline grow and thrive here at GLA and we are even more excited for the day she is at home with you!

Berline is healthy and growing:

Height: 69 cm
Weight: 20 lb 7 oz


I hope you enjoy these fun Spring/Easter photos of Berline.
