Babies!!! (By Teagan)

I love little kids. Especially babies! Here at Mission of Hope there is the Hope Village Orphanage and there are around 60 awesome kids (well alot of them are older than me, so i guess not all of them are kids), but the 5 babies are my all time favourite (shhh don't tell anyone :])

First there is Pierre, the oldest. Pierre has mental and physical difficulties, but that doesn't stop him from smiling! He was abandoned at the Clinic of Hope in the summer of 2010. Pierre is around 3 years old, but he can’t move that good, or talk, despite that he is the happiest baby I have ever seen! He just lays in his bed and laughs his head off for no apparent reason! He has the most adorable smile ever!

Next comes Angelie. Angelie is around 2 and a half. She has some mental difficulties as well, and she used to not be able to walk up until a couple of months ago. Before that she would just scoot around on the floor. It was super cute! She also has a really funny laugh. Angelie loves to make noise, screaming, babbling, and clapping, but once and a while she will be quiet and fall asleep on you (but that is pretty rare!). Like Pierre, Angelie was abandoned at the Clinic, after the earthquake. 

Then there is Matthew. Matthew just turned 2 in January. He loves to play with toys, and is starting to talk in an understandable way. Sometimes he will look at me in a certain way, and I swear he looks like he is 10 years old! He loves to watch cars, motorbikes and ATVs drive by. Matthew was found at another orphanage in Cabaret called Good Samaritan. He was malnourished and couldn’t hold him self up, and now he is a healthy little boy running around all the time. Today when I went to see them he started laughing when I came in, it was really unexpected and cute!

Finally there is Hannah and Jeremiah. They are twins who are 1 and a half years old. Hannah is very quiet and loves to be held, but she will get some crazy moments and run around and yell and play. Jeremiah, like his sister, likes to be held, but then he will jump down and start running around trying to play with whatever someone else is playing with. He also loves to sit and watch cars drive by. Hannah and Jeremiah were abandoned when they were 6 days old. They were premature, and Hannah weighed 2.8 pounds and Jeremiah was 3.5. Now they are big, chunky, healthy, adorable babies!

So i hope that after reading this you see why i love these babies so much, but if you don't then i guess you will just have to come down here and see them for yourselves :)
