Six months???!!!??? Already???

It is so hard to believe that little O has been with us for six months already! She is such an amzing little cutie pie! She has gone through so many things in her short little life so far - it is hard to comprehend how many "firsts" she has had since coming home!

Just physically, she has grown in size and weight. Her language skills are slowly improving. She is a brave eater and will try most everything at least once! She has learned to RUN, brush her own teeth, spit (not the best one!), call India or Japan on the phone, throw her shoes at me when I drive, turn the tv off, drive her brothers crazy and last but not least how to open and close doors! Her hair is getting longer and almost to the full pony-tail point! (yay!!!) And she is getting her "summer" hair color! Her 12 month pants are starting to get a little short and her feet have grown out of her Ukrainian shoes.

It is so amazing that this little orphan and has turned into such a beautiful and sweet angel!

We are thankful every day that we were so lucky to have things turn out the way they have! We think about how right around the day she was born, our very first set of paperwork was sent to Ukraine - and how we were lucky she was just made available for adoption right before we arrived. She is the perfect fit to our family! Apparently people think that she looks just like me - I am hoping that is a compliment! (haha!) But, never the less - she is our little angel and we all just love the dickens out of her!

Today marks the 6 month anniversary of the end of our 10 day waiting period in Ukraine. On Sunday, not only will it be Father's Day, but also O's 2 and a half birthday! So - we will get a little celebrating for both them!

What a ride it has been!
