From then to now

What I love about her......

It has been 6 months since Annaka was placed in our arms. I can hardly believe it has gone this fast. For over 2 years we waited for this little person to come home. Now, I can't imagine a day with out her in our life. She has fit in like she has been with us all of her 17 months of life.

There are so many things that amaze me about her.
I love the way she knows she is home now.
I love the way she sleeps in her crib and knows she is safe.
I love the way she cries to tell me she is awake after a nap.
I love the way she plays with her brother and sister.
I love the way she giggles when I take her out of the bathtub and wrap her up in a towel.
I love the way she tries to copy what we say.
I love the way she loves her blanket
I love they way she sucks her tongue when she is tired
I love they way she goes to Judy in the morning and I can tell she feels safe.
I love the way she dances to music.
I love the way she tries to imitate what we do.
I love the way she loves the baby pool in Kasson.
I love the way she smiles at me when I pick her up from daycare.
I love he way she loves her feet tickled.
I love the way she loves ELMO!!
I love the way she is learning new things everyday.
I love the way she says LaLa for Laney.
But most of all I love the way she knows I am her Mommy.......
