Life has been pretty busy lately... back to school, soccer season, etc. etc. So I'm playing catch up (again)!Sarah has been home for over nine months now... and here's the latest!
1. Sarah loves to dress up. Here she is sporting a pair of Daddy's socks.
2. She is a chatterbox! From the moment she wakes up, the conversation begins. "My cup?" "My bunny (stuffed animal)?" "I wake up!"
3. She has two speeds-- "ON" (as in full throttle) and "ASLEEP". She doesn't miss a thing, watches us very intently, and learns very quickly. This is a tad bit scary at times!
4. Two of her newest phrases are, "I so tired." (we've learned that this one really isn't true! haha) and "I can't." She uses "I can't" when mommy asks her to pick up toys or put her shoes on.
5. Sarah loves Legos and bristle blocks. At first this kind of surprised me. I don't remember any of the boys being interested in blocks before they were around three years old. But Sarah loves them, and they are by far her favorite toys.
Dolls? Not so much...at least not yet. (not for a lack of trying! :)
Sometimes, when I look back on our adoption journey and our time together since we've been home, I can hardly believe we actually DID it! I mean, it sometimes seems so surreal that we hopped on a plane, went to CHINA, and returned home with our daughter-- a sweet, precious child of God! It was such an amazing journey!
So grateful for the opportunity to be parents and to have Sarah be a part of our family!
8 Kind Words:
Sarah sounds like so much fun!! Can't believe it's been (over) 9 months!
Blessings,
Sarah
Mckells is always telling me that she is so tired. She looks so grown up.
Wow - time goes by so fast. She is so stinkin' cute!!!
It's quite a ride, huh? She looks so happy. She is very lucky to be part of your family, Gwen.
I finally found a difference between Sarah and Presley - Presley LOVES dolls!! And Sarah is definitely talking more than Presley. Other than that - they are identical!!! Glad she is doing so well. LOVE the sock look!
She has such a cute personality! Very true she is a mile a minute. I'm so glad that you have her. What a blessing she is.
Happy 9 Month Homecoming!! Sarah Mei is getting so big! (I love the oversized socks on her...LOL!) She is just a doll!
I know exactly what you are saying about it being a surreal journey. We have yet to bring home our sweet Khloe, but even the process this far often feels pretty surreal! I remember when your precious girl was still at ND...how wonderful that she has already been home with her forever family for nine months!
Blessings and Hugs,

I love your knew picture of the kids!!
