Terilou...I remember this exact feeling...how can I leave you hanging. Here is my cutie-pie. He'll be one on Thursday. I just got a call from daycare that he was trying to walk this morning and fell and bit his lip. Poor little thing....I feel so bad about his lip, but it's exciting he's trying to walk! I hope you have a referral soon!

Yes, I remember that feeling, too! One year ago at this time I was in your shoes, finishing up our dossier and praying that our CIS approval would come quickly. Rest assured, things will all fall into place and you will have the most perfect baby! Here's our little sunshine, home since June 1:

I'm always up for pics. This is my niece. She's been home for a year and almost 3 months. It flys by after they are home. I love to see all the cute babies. My favorite pics of Bella are when she first gets up, hair all wild!
