Eleven Months Old!

I just can't believe that in just one month Ana will be a year old! She's just blossoming! She's full of personality, and really seems to be happy. It truly feels like she's been with us forever! Each month that she's been home I look back to the beginning of that month and am just amazed at how good I thought our bond was and how much better it is at the end of the month. It just keeps getting better and better! She uses "ma ma" and "da da" and even says "bra ra" which we are convinced is "brother". She's clapping, and waving, and crawling up a storm and yesterday she put both of her hands up on the side of a laundry basket and looked like she was going to pull herself up. She's taking leaps and bounds! She is just an absolute joy, and I thank God every day that she's ours!
