OMG I forgot to post about MARCH 6th!!!

I kept thinking of doing this, but of course never got around to it and then JUST remembered I wanted to post on this day because it's been one year since we first saw pictures of our baby girl. I will never forget the day. I was taking my girl to dance. Got the call, dropped her off and asked friend to bring her home, run home and get on the computer. Of course I called Jeff in the mean time and tell him to stay by his computer. I prayed for lots of hair, silly I know. But she had some hair! So now that she is home with us I can finally post her referral pictures! She's everything we dreamed she'd be and more.

Below is Zoe from New Zealand that volunteered at Paisleys orphanage. She checked in on her for me.

Lori graciously took a ton of pictures and video which I will always treasure while she was there with her girls.

Her Miss America Wave

That's her new thing, waving to everyone. And it's that back and forth wave, so yes she has princess written all over her! And she'll say Byyyy, or HIIIIII. She's so funny though because if we're just walking into a store the first person she she's she'll wave and say hi to. They ignore her! How rude! I'm so excited though because she JUST started saying words consistantly. Meaning, more than just once and can't get her to say it again. She will say nighty-night now every time she goes to bed, she'll say CHEEEEEEESE, (that's her favorite food), when she sees a picture of a baby or dog she'll say bay-ba. And then she'll do the doggy bark sound which is a really high pitched yelp, yelp. So she has finally found her voice. Just between you and me, as a Mom I was getting a little worried. Her sister started talking soooo young, but took forever to walk. This one walked a little after her birthday and then full blown walking across the floor action when she was 11 mo. old. She still has her little mark between her eyes. I still have to post those pictures. And the funniest thing is that 2 other girls that were also from her Danang orphange recently got a boo-boo in the same spot!
