We are so excited to hear from you! Im glad to know you are able to view the blog now and I will keep it updated. Wow so alot has happened since I wrote you last!
Reese can now roll over and rolls and rolls and ROLLS! She can sit up, and with my help she will stand up and she gets the cutest grin on her face because she thinks shes so cool now! which she is but it cracks me up everytime! Shes gaining weight now shes eating baby food! I have been making my own so its not that weird processed bottle kind. She seems to like the majority of things I've tried but banannas and peas she hates unless I can mix them with other things that kinda hide the taste! She know finally sleeps thru the night. I didnt think that day would ever come :) I tend to have an obsession with buying clothes for her! She gets annoyed with me when it takes 10 minutes to pick out and outfit and put it on. She would much rather not wear any clothes.
We just got back from her first camping trip in the mountains and she loved it! She loves to be outside and watches the birds and we rode my horse. She didnt quite know what to think of that at first but ended up liking it!
She loves her dogs, when they bark she tries to mimic them and makes little noises back at them. She is hilarious and always has us smilling or laughing. I cant go anywhere without more than 10 people stop and tell me how gorgeous she is! She is the most beautiful little girl ever! Everyone around her just loves her and cannot get enough of her. She brings so much joy to our lives and I cant wait to get home from work to see her and I love my days off with her we do alot of fun things. She really likes walks so we spend time outside walking or playing in the grass. She is so happy all the time. She only cries when its time to eat because she loves her food. Even in the mornings when she wakes up she makes cute little noises and plays in her crib. She is funny.
My rocking chair I painted for her

I cannot beleive how fast she has grown up! 8 months has flown by. I found this cuteset little play house at Costco the other day and was thinking to myself before ya know it she'll be playing in one of these. Later that week Robert and I went back to Costco because he thought she would need that for next year!!! It cracks me up. He is the best Dad I love seeing how cute he is with her and he really truely loves her so very much. We are so happy and grateful for her in our lives.
I hope you are doing well and glad that we can communicate this way now! I always think about you!
So there are many other people in our valley that have adopted children so they have a playgroup every week! Its been fun for Reese to be aroud other kids her age and there are actually 7 other Bi-racial or full African American kids her age! There are lots of older kids too! I hear other people stories of adoption and I am very grateful how great ours went and happy we have YOU in our lives! Some people never even were able to meet the birth mom because she didnt want to! I cant imagine not being able to tell Reese all bout you and show her the pictures of us at the hospital and the story of the day meeting you up till the minute she was born!
