bird making

After falling in love with these adorable birds...posie

My sister and I decided to have a craft day and make a few of our own. This one is going on a shelf in Kayla's room.

new dolls

for Brittany and Kayla. So happy to have them done!

sugar and spice and everything nice

Lily is full of sugar and lots of spice. It has been so interesting watching her personality unfold these last few months. She is constantly adding new words to her vocabulary. We can't believe how fast she is learning English. She is the busiest little girl...always moving...curious about everything. She keeps me on my toes:) She likes going places and is the best little shopper. She is quite happy as long as she is the center of attention. She has us all wrapped around her little finger. At times the kids still fuss about who gets to hold her. She is going to be spoiled rotten I'm afraid! We are happy with how well she has bonded with us. If we could just figure out how to get her to sleep through the night we would have it made around her! Sometimes I still look at her and can't believe she is really here! God has been so good to us.

yay!

Lily's first tooth finally popped through! She is 13 months old! We were starting to wonder if she had any teeth in there! My husband joked that she was going to have to wear dentures to kindergarten! lol.

happiness:)

a beautiful foggy morning.

a happy baby.

a new picture to hang in my yellow kitchen.

play time

My husband found this old toy of Matt, Brittany, and Kayla's in storage a few days ago. I was happy to see it. I love old fisher price toys! Lily has had so much fun playing with it. Finding a toy that entertains her for more than a few seconds is always nice!

my baby doll

playing with the doll I bought for her at the very beginning of our adoption process. Back when she was just a dream and I didn't know if it would ever come true.
