Six months

Sweet Pea has been here with us for six months now.  Here are just a few of the fun and cute things I love about her these days:

• The way she wants to pull to standing everywhere now

• The way she wiggle-wiggles

• The way she likes to smell things lately, especially our feet

• The way she kisses all her stuffed animals or pretty much anything fabric, but only saves kisses for people for special moments

• The way she has started saying “mama”

• The way she has learned to turn pages of books on her own now and will sit and “read” for such a long time

• The way she is able to sit and focus on one task for a long time all on her own

• The way she loves to “walk” with us holding her hands, always with a big smile on her face

• The way she is still so serious with new people or in new situations, waiting to see what is expected of her, then once she settles in she is such a warm, sweet girl

• The way she has come so far in the past months that she does not even need any of the therapies anymore

• The way she loves the other baby that I watch and will let him kiss her, but pushes him away if he lingers too long

• The way her teeth are coming in out of order and even though she barely has two that can even touch, she still has learned how to grind them together

• The new “b-b-b” motorboat noise she has discovered this week

We will be going to court tomorrow morning to see if her biological parents' rights are terminated.  Bittersweet, for sure.
