6 months!!!

Wow- 6 months home already! Time has really flown by. Crazy really- we wait 4 1/2 years for this little one, now i want time to slow down.
Miss Lia is so much fun, she is constant entertainment, always has us laughing. She is also very busy, and into everything!
Last week she ate a ladybug, followed that with some deoderant. She had a very dry mouth the rest of the day. Unrolling the toilet paper is another favorite past time. And a couple weeks ago she emptied the garbage can in the bathroom, all into the toilet! Oh what fun!The drawer in the bathroom with the toothpaste, extra toothbrushes, and floss is a favorite to empty. She likes to take my phone, and the tv remote and hide them. but- she always hides them between the couch cushions, so I know where to find things. Lia is also very in to climbing up. She has a little chair that she moves up to the couch than she can climb on. The chair also helps reach other things she is not supposed to have.
Developmentally she is doing great great. Testing about 3-4 months ahead of where she needs to be. Except in language, but that is to be expected. I wish she could talk some. It would make things easier. I mean she gets her point across, but there is sometimes a lot of yelling, and crying from her.
She is still a little peanut but has gotten bigger. She is about 19lbs. She has 6 teeth, 4 on top, 2 on bottom. Lia has become quite the picky eater. She will not eat a vegetable, and is not to fond of meat. She will eat rice, noodles,eggs, breads,peaches,pears,applesauce, and cheese. Thats about it. Oh and anything sweet! Loves sweets! I still give her veggies and beans, and such. Maybe one day she will eat them. For now she picks them up and sets them on the side of her highchair.
I think we need a dog!
Im so excited about spring. I want to get out and do some things with my Fu girl.

I want to go back

To China! Only been home 4 months and I want to go back!
Unfortunatley I think it will be awhile.
I miss it- the sights, the smells, the people, the experience. After doing once I will be able to enjoy it so much more now.
Hmmm to dream.

Almost 1!

So Lia will be one year old next week. I still look at her amazement. She IS really here with us! She is not leaving. Its kind of wierd really- how we waited 4 years for this little one, and then all of sudden she is part of who "we" are.
Sometimes I feel like we were cheated of 6 months. But overall I know I'm blessed to have her with us. I will be around for so much more than I missed. We are really happy that all we missed was 6 months.
She has been with us 4 and a half months now. In that time she has learned so much. She has learned to crawl, gotten two teeth, she has started walking a few steps here and there. Most important she has learned what its like to be part of family, and to be loved so very much! I have learned that miracles do happen. I'm so glad I stayed with China when things didn't look so promising.

Been home 2 months!

I can't believe it! It seems as if I was just agonizing over when we were going to get our referral.
I already miss China and can't wait until we can go back. I would love to experience it without the culture shock. I could do without the flight though. The flight home was just brutal. The first two weeks home fall in the same category. They are a complete blur! I really don't remember most of it.
Now things are great. We have ourselves in a pretty decent routine,and we are adjusting well.
On to our little Lia. She is amazing! We all love her to pieces. In many ways it seems like she has always been with us. I think she likes us too!
She has changed so much in the last 2 months. She has 2 teeth, she crawls, she stands, and walks around the furniture. She is talking non-stop!
She now is sleeping more restfully and will even cuddle now and then.
I think about her birthparents quite a bit. I wish they could see how good she is doing. I tell her all the time how special she is to have so many people that love her!
