Halloween 2010

So much time has passed since our last post. Amelia is growing like crazy and changing every day. We enjoyed her first birthday party at our home, Amelia quickly learned how to open gifts, but was a little overwhelmed with all the people being in her home. We were so thankful to be able to share this special day with her and so many family and friends.

Belated Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July! It is hard to believe we have been a family for a little over 7 months now. Time goes so quickly.

Amelia has been part of our family for 3 months now! Time has really gone by so quickly. She has changed so much. She has gained 6 pounds and 2 3/4 inches! She can do so many things. Her attitude and behavior is nothing like I expected. She goes at any task with confidence. She almost has an attitude of "you people with two hands must have it rough, with that other hand in the way". I imagined that she would look at something she wanted to do, and just need help. That is just not the case.

She has a beautiful little spirit, and has really captured us completely. She does have issues with seperation at daycare. She also can't seem to chew (we are working on that with speech therapy).
The hand is really just not an issue for her right now. I would imagine when she gets older, there will be things that are very difficult.

I am so happy to be able to say she is my daughter. We love her so much.

With all the time that has past since we waited for our daughter, you would think I would post more. I am enjoying every moment with her and I really believe God has put us with the right child for us. She is amazing. I know that we are so blessed to be together. The overwhelming joy I feel when I see her face is more than I could ever put into words. I never imagined this kind of happiness. It can really only come from a miracle. We hope she is as happy as we are.
