8 Months Old

Our Little M turned 8 months old today. Even though our pictures are now 5 months outdated, we try not to dwell on that. And some days we do better than others as far as "dwelling" goes. We know that we will get an update soon so we're thankful of that because we really wonder what her smile looks like, how big she's getting and if they are letting her hair grow back out. :)

What's an 8 Month Old Do:

She may be crawling, scooting or doing the baby shuffle
She may be standing onto furniture and holding on for dear life
She may be banging toys together or even throwing them :)
She may look for objects that she dropped (or threw) :)

This month has kind of flown by and we still think we are 4 months from meeting our daughter. Still trying to squeeze in our last adult trip of our lifetime LOL - think we're leaning toward Vegas since we get to visit a beautiful beach in Thailand with our new family. Probably just need to pull the trigger, book it and go!

Last night my type A personality took over my dreams - in my dreams I awoke to an email from our agency that gave the timeline for everyone waiting. WE ALL KNEW the actual dates we would travel, the dates people would get referrals (Jessica) :) it was such a great feeling to just know even if it was in my dreams. And in my dreams, we did travel in December.

Could be a Thailand Christmas!

Such a sweet post. Before you know it, you won't have to wonder any more... you'll be experiencing everyday life with your sweet little girl!

You have good dreams! Keep them coming. Can't wait to read M's newest update in Sept.

Parenthood and especially the adoption process takes a little bit of the control away from us- completely unnerving!!! You know we got the call out of cycle - 4 days before K's 9mo birthday and we met her 5 weeks later just 5 days after she turned 10mo - so it could be you, in Thailand with the second youngest child to leave the country!!! You never know!

Sending a prayer out for you & Jessica!!
