Gates is already such a goofball! She loves people-watching and flashes her big, dimpled smile at anyone and anything, especially when someone smiles at her. Gates was diagnosed with Dandy Walker while in utero and there was a potential she could have delays in motor and coordination. But we have loved watching her crush each milestone. She is brave, curious, and always excited to try new things and new foods.
What are Gates's favorite activities?Gates loves watching Teletubbies! She smiles and giggles along with the sun baby and squeals with delight at Dipsy's grand entrance. She's still practicing sitting up like a big girl, but she's an expert at rolling around like a bowling ball trying to get to her toys so she can chew on them. She enjoys going on walks or sitting outside in the garden, taking in the world around her.
How would $25,000 impact your family?A portion of the prize would allow us to take Gates to Vietnam to visit relatives, connect with her heritage, and enjoy the amazing food. The rest would be invested in Gates's future. After 5 years, 2 IVF cycles, multiple surgeries, and several failed embryo transfers, we finally brought home our precious girl. We would love to give her the opportunities we dreamed about for so long while fighting to bring her into the world.
