6 months with Nadia

Louanne on Jan 22nd 2008

 

What can I say? She’s awesome! Six months ago today Nadia was placed in our arms. Our life has changed in so many ways, but we just love being parents! That God chose this wonderful girl to be a part of our life is a privilege and a blessing. I don’t have words to express how full my heart is – it’s like I don’t have enough room in my chest for my heart!

It’s too fun to see all the new things she is learning to do and say. She has been mimicking our words a lot in the last two weeks and I would say that she has about 10 words that she says that she knows the meaning of. She can understand many more words and that amazes us. She hardly ever gets fussy unless she is tired. She sleeps through the night except for one bottle between 4-6 am. She is also taking 2 naps a day still that are very good length (yeah for Me!).

Her latest antics are to run in place like she is getting ready for the riverdance. To spin around in circles. To “drive” her little zoo keeper car around on the furniture or on Mom and Dad – while making little baby engine sounds. She is learning the sounds that animals make which is beyond cute.

    You know Louanne, Nadia reminds me a lot of Alice. You can definately tell they are from the same province! When I saw the pic of Nadia and her Daddy I had to look twice to make sure it wasn’t MY baby!!

    Lou!

    I feel like I haven’t been to your blog in WAY TOO LONG! I just dropped by to catch up–and b/c my Mom has been asking me if I’ve seen pics and if I know the deal on going to China, and, and, and! :) BTW–what a beautiful gift from Tahni! :)

    I hope to visit you guys soon! I can’t wait to hug your big girl! :)

    I love you!

    Nadia is such a beautiful girl.

    But do you put product in her hair to make it so cute and spiky? (I only ask because there was that other picture of her where she had been sleeping and her hair was “normal” looking.) :-)

    Happy six months!
