7 Months

I can't believe how far this girl has come in her 7 months! Today she is 7 months old! One month ago, I sobbed for her, wanting her here so badly, feeling like she would never be here. I feel SO thankful! My heart is full and we are all falling so in love with her and her with us.
She is such a happy little baby. Even with an ear infection- she loves being around people and she likes to "joke". I am serious- she will laugh about something and then anticipate you doing it again and will belly laugh about it. It is so funny!

Adjustment is going smoothly. Our 7 yr. old, first born is learning how to share the drama spotlight..... ready for the new normal to set in. This week was hard- good but hard. Lots of people want to meet her and we are so thankful for all of the open arms! She loves it- It has been hard this week taking care of everyone and being jetlagged.... here's to hoping next week will be a little more "normal"- if there is such a word. She wakes up with a big smile on her face- it is so refreshing and I am loving being her momma! She fits right in! God knew just who we needed in our family- he's so good like that! So, so thankful!

  1. Oh Erin, she's such a scrumptious, jolly, sweet baby! Our town is so lucky to have her here! I am so lucky to know your family, and your newest family member. Thank you SO much for sharing her. That first picture captures her so well! I love how she looks at you and makes silly faces to see your reaction! She is SOOO amazing....I'm already dying to snuggle her again!

  3. Yeah! It makes me happy to see her at home with her family! I'm sure I will have more questions for you once we get home and a little settled in. Nine days and we will be HOME with our girl so be ready for the questions. :)
