It's been awhile

So where does the time go! We have been home now for over two months. I look at her and wonder how much older she looks from when we got her! I think she has grown over an inch in height, but gained maybe a pound or two only. She is very tall, with long fingers and toes. Her mommy must have been one pretty lady.

Her personality sure is coming out. She has more facial expressions than any other person I have ever seen. I think someone in her family must have been a comedian! She is the funniest little one that could have come to us.

We had an appointment to look at her mouth and the doctors said wow
she sure does have a very large cleft palate, but he can fix it no problem!
They are working on getting her scheduled for surgery. Once that is finished, speech therapy can start.

I can't wait for her to learn to talk. She can say "woof, woof", "meow, meow", "momma", and "eye". Anything else is finger pointing or hollering!

Temper tantrums are becoming a little rarer thank goodness! I was in such a state of lets send her back to China it wasn't even funny! That also had a lot to do with me getting no sleep. But that is becoming a thing of the past too.

She has two nick names. Jess calls her "bug" because she is so petite.
Steven calls her "boo" because she reminds him of "Boo" of Monsters Inc.
Too funny! If you look up the picture of "Boo" you may see why!

She has begun sleeping all night which is spectacular, and then takes a nap without a problem. She is just beginning to find cartoons interesting on TV. She loves Barney and Elmo!

I have to brag for a moment. It's in the 70s here in Texas today and I have my windows open! Ally was a little puzzled when I opened them and wondered where the breeze was coming from. That was very cute. Then she started pushing on the screens and I had to quickly tell her no not to do that!

So that is all for now. I will try to keep this a little more updated than I have been!
