Happy Birthday Baby...




How a year goes by....

Five years of waiting....

Six months of paperwork....

Two sets of government regulations.....

Countless stacks of paperwork....

AND THEN

Twenty Four hours on a plane....

Five visits to the Embassy....

One early decision to come home....

Three of us heading home....

AND THEN


Six months she crawled and learned to really laugh....

Seven months she could stand on her own, clap and found her fake laugh....

Eight months her feet hit the ground running as does her tongue: Mama and Dada come first....

Nine months she gave up her bottle for drinks with straws and talking is what she does best....

Ten months brings hysterics and giggles daily. She even laughs at her shots....

Eleven months; there is finally a tooth and she barks at dogs as they pass by....

Twelve months; it's here and she's growing like a weed. Time sure does fly by; here's to you little Ms. G!



Here's some other random pictures from the last little bit....
