One of the many silly faces our girl makes :)
6 months ago today we saw this little face up close and personal for the first time, this was the first time I got to hold my baby girl and cuddle with her, the first time I got to wipe away her tears, and see her smile. My how far we all have come in just 6 months! When we met it was instant, I knew.....she was meant to be our little girl, however now its deeper than that, its like I can't even begin to imagine what our lives would be like without her now. Our sweet girl brings so much laughter, joy and curiosity into our house. She can cut a mean rug! She has the most hilarious facial expressions and is such a compliant child. Oh and loud, the girl is LOUD!!!
Addison has had to learn and overcome so much in these 2.5yrs of life, yet she is still full of joy and songs. One of my favourite moments of the day is when I catch her singing along with Chris Tomlin to the song "Our God." She and Riley are still learning what it means to be a sister and have a sister. Its an everyday battle for who will "rule the roost" for these two girls! However I see glimpses of the love and compassion they have for each other, and trust it will take time for them to come to terms with their new roles in the family.
This 6 months have flown by and I can hardly believe she has been in our arms for that long! We feel beyond blessed to have her in our lives, and can't wait to see what the next 6 months bring for her and our family.
I absolutely love her serious face!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, she is so perfect for your family. It is such a God thing, one of those things you can't quite fully grasp, because He knew this would happen, even before this world began. So incredible. What a beautiful girl you are blessed with.
Happy 6 months together. Gracious, where does the time go!

She is a beautiful little girl and you are so blessed to have her.
ReplyDeleteThe sister thing takes awhile, maybe until adulthood! We are figuring that out here too.
All that you went through when you started this whole process -- and you have the child God had planned for you... amazing.
I can hardly believe 6 months has passed! What a legacy of God's faithfulness runs through her story. And she's just plain adorable to boot! :)
