Princess Sophia has a name!!
Finally... after 6 months... I have finally given Sophie her forever name!! It has been a tremendously difficult thing to do and I cannot explain why. Anyways, without further ado... introducing...

Sophia Lane Elisabeth!!


She has been home now for 5 weeks and in my arms for nearly 6 and I can hardly remember my life without her. She truly completes us and was the missing piece of our family's puzzle. I hope you don't mind me sharing a few pictures.

For those that are still waiting... stay strong... HIS timing is truly perfect.

Sarah

I am sitting up like a big girl now!!! It is amazing how quickly she has improved. When she came home, she was barely holding up her head and was not reaching for anything...
