More Milestones



Ellie’s hands are usually posed gracefully out to her sides with the palms up – even when she is “crawling”. To get around, she sits on her rear and pulls her self along with her feet all the while with her hands in the air. It is quite impressive – try it sometime! Last night, she stole a cookie from her friend Maya and turned and quickly scooted away. She also claps – a lot. It is obvious that her hands were her favorite play things in the orphanage.

Today Ellie started rolling back to stomach and back again. Now we have seen her do everything that I would expect a 12 mo old to do plus more. Ellie's non-stop eating is paying off in thigh rolls. She has definitely packed on the lbs. in the one week we've had her! She has a little cough and runny nose but otherwise still doing great.

Today is our 13th wedding anniversary, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate than to be living in the moment like we have been able to do here appreciating the little blessings in life.
