11 months

No- it can not be true that our baby is 11 months old already. Time is flying, and there is a part of me that wishes that we had those first 9 months together. When I think about when we came home with Paige - which was only August 12th, and really how short a time she has been with us- 9 weeks, I am amazed. I am amazed at how our girl has adjusted to life with us, and how we have adjusted to life with Paige. It feels like she has been here with us forever, and in a way she has, because we did recieve her referral only 2 weeks after she was born. I remember closing my eyes and actually feeling me hugging her and kissing her even though she was so far away in Taiwan. Our girl has done a lot of growing in the past 2 months. I love her so much that my heart wants to burst with that love. Our boys adore her- and it warms my heart to see her face light up every time one of them is around her.
Paige at 11 months this is what you do:
sleeps from 7pm - 7am. Hardly naps. Takes 4-5 steps alone, and when you realize what you do you get so excited you trip yourself. You give big open mouth kisses. Blow kisses with a big MMMMMMaaaa soumd. You eat just about anything I give you except babyfood. You love your puffs, and cheerios. You put your arm up to shout Touchdown...You are only wearing 6 month old clothes. I can not walk in a store without several people telling me how beautiful you are.You are into everything..cabinets, pulling out the digital card from the cable box, the dog's bowl, the toilet bowl, cabinets. When you know you are not supposed to be in something you stop yell "MAMA" and when you see you have my attention, proceed to do what your not supposed to. You have the sweetest smile. You have the stinkiest poops. You love your vitamins. You love music.
