Here we are, 9 months since we became a family of three! Our lives are forever changed and that makes for three very happy people. We just feel like the luckiest Mommy and Daddy.
How lucky are we that this sweet little girl from China is now here with us? She has the biggest heart, the best personality and has truly won us all over.
The cute little red skirt was a gift from my cousin in France - perfect and adorable!
For this month's update, I thought it would be fun to share some of Lily's "currents".
Here we go:
For this month's update, I thought it would be fun to share some of Lily's "currents".
Here we go:
1. She has the best smile and laugh ever which can make me forget any worries I may have.
2. Her favorite songs right now to listen to: Mary Had a Little Lamb and Michael Row Your Boat Ashore. Funny how those songs have our names in them, huh??
3. Parks are a favorite and we like to go just about every day now that it's not too hot. Her balance, coordination and confidence is so apparent at the playground compared to when we use to go in the Spring.
4. When she hands me something she says in the sweetest voice, "Here you go Mommy".
5. When her Daddy gets home from a trip, Lily is a happy camper. This little girl loves her some Daddy time! I think she's the happiest when all three of us are home.

6. Lily held open the diaper wipe container for me to get one out. Once I removed one, she said, "Good job Mommy". She's quick to give a compliment!
7. The other day Lily was playing with play-dough while I was getting dinner ready. All of a sudden she ran out of the kitchen and went towards the bathroom. When I walked around the corner to see, she was brushing her teeth. I asked her why she was brushing her teeth and her answer, " To get play-dough out"! Well, duh. I guess when you eat play-dough it can get stuck in between your teeth. At least we know that Lily is up to speed with her self help skills!
8. Lily is very organized and likes things in a certain order.
9. She was face timing with her Daddy the other day while he was in China. After a little chit chat she had enough and told him "Bye, bye. See you later". He tried not to be too crushed.
10. Although not a napper as far as laying down and sleeping, she will take a nap in the car from time to time. Lily is a great sleeper at night. She usually is asleep around 8 and wakes up around 6:30 or 7:00.
Driving back from Bonny's one afternoon Lily was using some paper and stickers to keep the sun from shining in her face
By the time we got home, it was stuck to her face like this
11. She's very good at trying all sorts of different foods. If she doesn't like it, she'll tell us but she eats just about anything we do. She likes apples, bananas, peas, corn, chicken, soup, spaghetti, turkey, cheetos, yogurt and anything sweet. Evidently she also likes sushi like her Daddy!
12. I was telling Lily we were going to go on an airplane to visit my brother and family. Her response, "I play on iPad on plane". I think she's getting this traveling thing down.
13. Lily loves the Fall decorations we have out. I believe she'll enjoy all the upcoming holidays!
14. Lily likes to stay busy. Some favorites include play-doh, blocks, reading books, singing and painting. She paints just about every day at school and now we paint at home too!
Lily has made so much progress in these past nine months. When I hear her singing her ABC's, counting, naming shapes and colors, playing and being a regular toddler, it amazes me! Nine months ago she was receiving minimal care, not a lot of stimulus and no English. What a different little girl we have now!
