One month ago...

One month ago today, Crystina was placed in our arms!! This is going to sound weird but...it feels like she was just placed in our arms but then again...it feels like she's been with us forever!! I know...weird! She's adjusted SO well with us and with our families. And she's learned SO much...she understands us SO well when we speak to her. I mean, she REALLY understands us! When we ask for a kiss or a hug, she knows what to do. And she gives the BEST hugs!!!! She is one silly little girl that loves music! ANY music...she'll start bopping her head (that's her dancing) or shaking her shoulders, it's SO cute!! She does have her moments, it's either her way or no way...we are working on that. Crystina sleeps the whole night! And naps greatly! ; ) It did take us a while to get that nightly routine...but we have one now. Overall, she fits this family so perfectly!

After 2 years of waiting, I still can't believe she is here...with us! In November, it will be 3 years that we started the process. Those years of waiting and wondering "will it EVER happen?" have just disappeared! I LOVE to just look at her while she naps...that perfect round face with those BIG almond eyes and that little button nose with those little rosy lips..........GOD sure made her for US...and only us.

Well, here are some pictures from the past few days.

One month ago today...Today...

The difference in what a month makes, is so incredible! She's the same little girl that was placed in our arms a month ago but yet SO different. We feel she's grown so much! She's still a baby to us but yet a "big girl." Crystina is SO loving...she gets SO excited when daddy gets home from work and she hugs and kisses mommy all the time, just out of the blue, that's the best feeling!

Hope to have more pictures up soon...much love to all & GOD bless!!
