Home Six Months!
It's hard to believe it's only been six months since I arrived home with Alivia. She's turned out to be the best decision I've ever made in my life.
 Incredibly, she seems to be completely attached to me and, despite a few physical delays, she's catching up well developmentally. I marvel every day at the joy she is to parent. Here are a couple recent photos... she's a real beauty if I do say so myself! Jeana

Jeana,
So nice to hear a positive outcome! How great she looks. The glow is priceless in her face. Enjoy her while she is young. Girls are something else as they become young women--LOL. Love the pictures and updates. Thanks so much for posting. Take care,

Thanks, Laurie! My Livi spells hers differently, but I agree that we picked lovely names for our girls! And I love your blog! Your Livi's a real sweetie, too!
