Four Years - pics attached
Sophia has been home for four years. I just can't believe it. She is such an amazing little girl. Very loving and affectionate. Smart, I mean really smart. Darling, funny! We are so lucky. Here a couple pics, one with Jeff and one with her bitty twin doll at christmas. Her very favorite gift. That doll has not left her side since she got it Christmas Eve.

I check the forums just to see how those of you still waiting are hanging in there. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

WOW!! 4 yrs............ I'm sure it seems like yesterday you were going to get her. We've had ours home for just over 4 weeks and I can hardly believe that time has passed already...

Glad she is doing so well..........she's very cute!

Thanks for sharing.
