Remember how we shed that pesky bathing suit after about 3 min....? I can't believe I couldn't find the camera when we ditched the diaper as well. WOW, this is the child that 10 months ago wouldn't stop screaming (in a small hotel room, no less) until she was fully clothed again!! We have really come a long way since then. She continues to slay demons everyday. Just today we were shopping with sister and a strange woman came up to say hello and Claire didn't scream and turn away, she just stared and then turned away. They grow so fast.
We still love the shirt to the lips.
Taiwan adoption update.....month 2 of waiting. Heavy sigh.
Inch by inch getting closer to our baby boy.
Every call has a beginning. A quiet moment when God whispers a promise to a mother’s heart . A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts the journey set before him. A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns… Casting its first light on a chosen threshold. A gentle knock..a closed door opens, a sacred invitation sent by the Father.. leads to the other side of the world. Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows praying for someone to care.. and then one morning, on an ordinary day an orphan’s life changes... God sends them a second chance...Through you..

We are a family now, a whole,of which you are a part,and you are just as much our child as any in our heart. We do not love you differently,nor would we give up less of all that life has given us to bring you happiness.There is no limit to our love,no boundary you might cross,no price you may be asked to pay,no need to fear its loss. We are now one, the five of us,windows of one home. As long as we have life and breath,You’ll never be alone.~Nicholas Gordon

My Katie was just like that. It seemed like over night she well, trusted. Amazing isn't it.
Mya has also gone through a major change in the last 6 months. It is so amazing to watch the former cling-on be so confident.
What a wonderful thing.....you are a great Mom.
