Gracie Update...

Life is good!

Our Baby girl is doing great!

She is the sweetest, most lovable little girl. She is bright and spunky!

• Attachment is great! Now we finally feel she is fully ours. She is very comfortable with us, trust us, loves us and we love her to pieces.

• She is a chatter box and she continues to learn exponentially…. Colors, shapes, letters, numbers you name it she’s on it, learning is a fun game for her.

• We joke sometimes saying…We thing the officials in China lied to us, we did not get a two year old we got a “little person” pretending to be a toddler.

• She has become a picky eater :0( No matter how cute, colorful we attempt to make her meals (sigh)

• She has put her potty training efforts aside for a while...

• She is sleeping better, although she talks a lot  (she says the funniest things while sleeping :0)

• She has grown 7 inches and gain 7 pounds since arriving home (7 months)

• She is currently wearing size 3T clothes and size 7 shoes

• She is a girly girl, continue to love dresses, shoes, hair pretties, lipstick, nail polish, accessories, sun glasses, purses… anything girly and pink she’s loves! And I am so happy about that, I will have a great shopping partner :0)

• She loves Dora the Explorer and it is so stinkin cute hearing her interact with the cartoon, singing and trying to speak in Spanish, it is adorable! She also likes Ni hao Kai-lan and of course Peppa Pig and Yo Gabba Gabba although not as much as she used to.

• She loves all the Disney Princesses and is able to name all of them(she really thinks she’s a princess :0) She wears her tiara and carry her wand everywhere. When she misplaces either, she will call “princess” as if calling a puppy until we “find it”.

• She loves, loves, loves the park… slides are her favorite!

We have our hands full, there’s no time for much… We don’t have a life anymore… She is our life! And we wouldn't have it any other way. We were in love with her from the very first time we saw her little face on our referral photo but now…. Words just can’t describe!

And now... Pictures :0)

At Gracie’s park :0)

In my daughter's eyes...

In my daughter's eyes,

I am a hero,

I am strong and wise,

And I know no fear,

But the truth is plain to see,

She was sent to rescue me,

I see who I want to be,

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,

Everyone is equal,

Darkness turns to light,

And the world is at peace,

This miracle God gave to me,

Gives me strength when I am weak,

I find reason to believe,

In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger,

How it puts a smile in my heart,

Everything becomes a little clearer,

I realize what life is all about,

It's hanging on when your heart is had enough,

It's giving more when you feel like giving up,

I've seen the light,

It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,

I can see the future,

A reflection of who I am and what will be,

And though she'll grow and someday leave,

Maybe raise a family,

When i'm gone I hope you see,

How happy she made me,

For i'll be there,

In my daughter's eyes
