Three months

Today is three months since we brought this sweet girl home. 

I cannot explain in words the joy she has brought to out lives. It is also the halfway point to finalization. We are halfway to being able to go to court. It seems like time has flown by. She is cooing more each day and began giggling yesterday. And I cried. Tears of joy for a momma who has waited to hear that giggle for so long. I've cried off and on all day. Tears of being overwhelmed that this little blessing is my daughter. 

My favorite thing about being a mom is walking up to her crib telling her good morning and seeing this face

I get that big toothless grin every morning and my day is made. 

We recently went to GA to meet my sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew. I loved getting to watch them meet and lie on my daughter. She adjusted rather well to being home again. I was a little worried after such spoiling. I was pretty much only there to change diapers for the most part. We also got to see my best friend. 

We enjoyed a morning at the river walk, got to cheer my niece on and even take a date. 

Tomorrow is post placement visit #2 with our adoption specialist. We have one more to go. I am so ready. 

So far she had rolled over once. Giggled. Coos. Grasps. Will push and bounce on your lap or in the jumper. And with each milestone they are so bittersweet. My sweet little peanut is growing so fast. She is approx 11 lbs 8 oz and around 25 inches. She still wears newborn or 0-3 clothes. Such a little bitty princess who is growing so fast. 

I will forever be grateful for God choosing us to be her parents and a birthmom willing to make such a hard sacrifice.
