After the first snowstorm

Christmas Day

Christmas Morning

2011 is off to a great start! Sofia continues to change right before our eyes. She is taller, smarter, and super sassy. Even though we always felt close to her, and her to us, it seems that our feelings have solidified. She is sensitive and loving towards us, and gives lots of hugs and kisses. Watching her grow and change has been amazing. We laugh a lot! She is soooo bossy. She is constantly telling us what to do, and what not to do...especially Hannah and her cousin Mickey. She talks non-stop, and we love her misspoken toddler words. Mark and I find ourselves speaking in "Sofia" all the time :) She still calls herself "Wea" and Hannah, "Ya Ya." She loves all of her cousins, and loves loves loves being spoiled by all of her grandparents. We are so fortunate to have them! Preschool is going really well, and she is almost back to being 100% potty-trained. On Saturday, it will be 8months since our adoption was finalized. It's so crazy to think that this time last year, we didn't even know about her. She was most definately worth the wait! We were truely meant to be a family, and we are looking forward to the months ahead.
