our family's happy milestone with TR2...

Our little girl is now 10 months old.
as she came home at only 4.5 months, she has offially been with us longer than she was without us!
somehow that 'passage' was really important to me.

we are so blessed to have mira as our daughter!

here is a picture of our little baby this past week....

Cris, congratulations on such an important milestone! Luke is 19 months old and came home at 9.5 months and we just celebrated this same occasion! It's really special to know that they've been with us longer than anyone else now!

Mira is just precious! She looks like a really happy baby, too!

Happy Day!!

Cris, Congratulations, on your special day!! I remember being so thankful and in awe when that day came for us with Isaac! It's a wonderful feeling to realize you've been together longer than you were apart! Blessings to you and your precious little one!

awwww Cris... congratulations... we are coming up on one of those milestones too. Dylan was 4.5 months and is now 19 months, so we have way surpassed hers... but Amanda was 18 months old and in April, she will turn 3... passing hers as well.

I know this is a big milestone for you and I smile everytime I read your posts. She is beautiful and I can see your smiles through everything you write. Congratulations!

Love,

Congratulations! I thought that we were the only ones who celebrated that day! I loved thinking about that with Joseph--"now he's been with us longer than he was without us....what were our lives ever like before!"

Your baby gets more adorable every time I see her (and she was a cutie to begin with so that's a high bar!)

She just gets cuter and cuter - in some ways it's hard to believe it's been that long!

Oh she is really growing. What a doll! I agree, how can it be that long already? Time flies.

She's beautiful...like always! We're quickly coming up on the longer with us than in Guatemala milestone too. It's hard to believe how quickly the time goes.

God bless,
Lisa
