2 months ago today..

My dd was permenantly placed in my arms at 5 1/2 months.

At 7 1/2 months Changes in life are amazing...

Each day is a joy, she brings new delights with every new development.
She sits up real well
She is now sleeping straight through from 6:30pm to 6:00am.
She is rolling over with a vengence, and eating some solid foods.
She is getting stronger every day during tummy time.
She can stand on her legs when she is being held.
She looks for certain things every day ...like the light switch on top of the stairs, the pretty glass ball in her west window, the frogs and balls during her bathtime.
Her sense of humor is emerging almost daily and her curiosity for new things is abounding.

Of course with her new awareness of surroundings comes more pickiness with foods, wanting and grabbing for things she is not suppose to have, not wanting to nap, etc.,

But boy is she FUN!!!!! and a complete joy and beleive it or not, since the pain of the wait for her to come home is almost a distant memory I am comteplating on when is the best time and what country to start the second adoption for a sibling......
