Six Weeks Together

This summer is flying by! I can't believe it will be August tomorrow! We are enjoying the time off from everything! We are done with baseball and are able to play and get to know Myah better. She is doing amazing, she is getting stronger and stronger every day. She is scooching everywhere, she won't crawl on all 4's but she manges to get anywhere she wants to doing it her way. She also pulled herself up to a standing position today for the first time. It is incredible considering that she couldn't even roll over when we first got her. Every day it is something new. She is so funny and continues to try to make everyone laugh at her. She also has a temper when she is tired or hungry, she has a screech and she lets everyone know that she isn't happy. Sometimes I forget that she hasn't been around English speaking people her whole life because she seems to understand everything that we say. Like I said, it is amazing. We have been venturing out and meeting friends and relatives now that she seems more comfortable with being around more people. She reaches out for blondes and older people, it is so funny especially since I doubt she ever had seen a blonde person before. Dayton is adjusting very well to his big brother status. He loves getting her out of the crib and having her hold onto him. He also runs as far away as possible when diaper duty calls. I don't blame him! She is pretty attached to me and gets upset when I leave but she is learning that I do come back! Mark loves his daddy time with the kids. He is so great with both of them and has such a funloving way of playing with them and teaching them at the same time. He sees things in a totally different light than I do at times and puts such a fun spin on the simple and ordinary. We are so happy right now, things just seem so much more relaxed now that all of the waiting and the trip is over. Mark asked what I wanted for my birthday and I really couldn't think of anything special. We have been so blessed by having our family completed and a wonderful trip to China on top of it. I feel very content. I am just enjoying being a family.
