Six Months!

So blogging is not exactly a priority...here's a bit of an update!

Life with AnGrace...

Speaking has come a LONG way! While some things are difficult to understand, she has a huge vocabulary and is doing a great job communicating.

Being outside is huge! Whether it's bubbles, a walk or sidewalk chalk, she can't get enough. The newest is going to the pool. Even when it's way to cold for Dan or I, she stays in with her sisters. She's also had a few fits when we can't go!

One of her favorite things is going to church; she yells "Jesus" when we pull in the parking lot. Her terrific Sunday school teachers have done wonders with making her feel welcomed and loved.

Singing has recently become an interest. She never tires of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me and the ABC's...sometimes to the detriment of her singing companions.

Potty training is done and was easy...thanks to her wonderful nannies in China!

She's grown about 2 inches and gained 3 pounds in 5 months...obviously meal time is well-loved. Thankfully, she's not super picky. Ice cream is often asked for in the morning...no, she doesn't get it!

Play dates with her friends Chloe and Harper are highlights. It's amazing to watch her warm up to others and interact.

Wednesday marks the six month anniversary of AnGrace's adoption. As we have been the entire six months, we are in awe of God's grace. She daily amazes us with everything! Words can't express how grateful we are for the Lord choosing her for our family.
