Been Home 3 Weeks!!

Well, Mia has been home for 3 weeks now and has really settled in! She is learning to put herself to sleep which has taken a little work since she had slept with her foster mother in Guatemala. She is a good napper and usually wakes up just one time a night to eat. Except for the snack she sleeps from about 8 pm to 8:30 am.

Every day she laughs, smiles and talks more! She now responds to her name (they called her Izabela in Guatemala) and looks to her Mommy and Daddy when she gets upset. She yells if the person she is playing with leaves the room and then smiles as soon as they reappear. She loves Peek-a-boo!!! Mia now sits all by herself for long periods of time. She scoots backwards which makes her mad because her toys just keep getting farther away. She gets up on her knees and rocks back and forth and can even get up on her tippy toes. Mia loves standing if you hold her hands.

We are all having so much fun together! Its hard to believe we have only been together for 3 short weeks!!! She has brought so much joy and happiness to us and our families!!!!
