It is hard to believe we have been home over a month, but in
some ways it seems much longer. Mia is adjusting well and it is
hard to believe she has only been with us for 6 weeks. Every day
she learns something new. She is mostly baby babbling but will
surprise me with a word every now and then. Her favorite words
are Mama and uh-oh. She loves to go grocery shopping, throw my
items out of the cart onto the floor, and say uh-oh with a
smile. I keep trying to convince her, it is not uh-oh if you
throw it on the ground. Good thing she is so cute!
It took us a while to get into the groove when we arrived home.
The jet lag was a killer and Lexi became ill with a stomach
virus once we arrived home. I am happy to say everyone is back
on schedule and currently no one is sick...knock on wood! I have
also had to adjust to having a very busy toddler. Since our
youngest was 9 years old, I have forgotten how much work
toddlers can be. Mia is breaking me in nicely! She is definitely
attaching well, seeing since she won't let me out of her sight.
I realize this is an anxious attachment, but am attributing it
to all the changes she has experienced over the last 2 months. I
see her becoming more comfortable by the day.
Her health is better that we expected. You know the saying
"prepare for the worst, hope and pray for the best." Well, we
definitely received the best! It is hard to put into words what
we have experienced over the last few months. Our journey to Mia
has been incredible. Five months ago we saw Mia's sweet face on
the shared list. Now she is our girl and we are her forever
family. We are excited for all the things to come! We would
encourage others to give the shared list a chance because there
are incredible kids on that list that need forever families.
They are such a blessing! We of course were excited and scared
after we had locked in her file. We are so very grateful we
followed our hearts and truly feel God led us to her.
We are looking forward to warmer weather and all the new
experiences Mia will have! We will update this summer. Until
then take care!
