6 Months Officially

Can you believe it??! Six months ago today we officially became Faith's family! It is quite strange when you adopt since sometimes you feel like you just got her, then other times you feel like she has always been with us. It is hard to believe that we missed out on the first 16 months of her life. She fits in so well with our family and is definitely one of the Straight Goods!

Faith has completed our family and she is blossoming more and more everyday. She seems to have turned the corner in her eating skills, so her diet has a lot more variety in it these days which is a good thing. She will eat french fries and chicken nuggets just like the rest of my crew :) Faith has started using more words now so she seems to be moving into a true toddler now and not so much "baby" anymore. She definitely has an attitude when she wants to but she is so darn sweet most of the time it is hard to put her down.

Oh and of course those CHEEKS, who can resist loving on her sweet cheeks!! I can really see the difference in only the 6 months we have had her. I can't believe she will already be starting her preschool class in just a few months. Wow baby to toddler in just a few short months!

We are so very lucky to have been blessed with this beautiful child :)





PS: If you read our post from 6 months ago, you may recall the OBVIOUS sign from God that Faith was meant to be my daughter. Funny thing is that Faith stopped sucking her fingers about a week after we got home. Some would call that very strange, I call it a God thing ;) He just wanted to make sure that all of my "doubts" about choosing the right child, were answered. What a beautiful testimony Faith is that God is alive and well and at work in our lives everyday!!

What a lucky family and what a lucky little girl, like hand in glove... so well matched.
She is adorable, as all your family are.
She is so happy it shines so in her eyes.

Love Granny
