Growing up

I am sad today. My little one is growing up too fast. After such a long wait it seems that time is going by too quickly and I just want it to slow down. We wanted this so bad and now she's just growing too fast. 

She turned four months just a week and a half ago. 12 lbs and 7 oz, 23 and 3/4 inches long, and took her shots like a champ. We spent our last days of summer with lots of cuddles and kisses. 

Right now we are adjusting to momma having to work and going to a babysitter. The first day she was asleep when I dropped her off and when I picked her up she started crying as soon as she heard her momma. She is a little clingy in the afternoon and doesn't want us to out her down but she is adjusting well and has adjusted to being with Ms Emily well and will go to her. 

We had all intention of waiting a few more weeks to starting foods and sippy cups but big girl has gotten where 5 oz of formula isn't always filling her up anymore and her grip has gotten better so we decided to try it. Sweet girl got upset when she saw us pouring her milk into the bowl. Hahaha. She knew something wasn't right. I got so sad buying the bowls, cereal, juice, and sippy cup. She's getting so big. 

We are so blessed with our little princess. I'm still overwhelmed at the gift of our sweet girl. It hits at the strangest moments. I realize at the strangest moments that we could've very easily not gotten our daughter had we notified the agency that we weren't renewing. We were in a place of praying about what God wanted for us and we were under the impression that although we knew we were to adopt we chose the wrong path. It wasn't until that surrender that we got our call. I need to type out our story in a more coherent way. I don't want to miss anything. We are so in love.
