Our First Month Together

Myah's first month with us has been just amazing. I can't believe the transformation in her personality since we got her that first day in Wuhan. She has opened up so much more to us and is so eager to learn our ways. She has been such a blessing to us and everyone she meets. I can't take her anywhere without her getting attention. She is really fitting in! I think she thinks that we are ok also! She loves Dayton and always squeals when she sees him in the morning, he can't wait to pick her up out of her crib each morning. The time has just flown but in the same respect it seems like we have had her forever. I told Mark the other day that I can't believe that we are back already and she is here with us! After all of that waiting, everything went very fast once we received our travel approval, and our trip to China was so busy that it was a blur too! Thank goodness I journaled every day because I have forgotten the details already and it helps to refresh my memory! I got all of the pictures back that we took on the trip and I just love looking through them. We also received a photo album from the orphanage when we got her and those pictures are just priceless, we have pictures of her from the day she was left at the orphanage up until her first birthday. They took pictures each month for us. We are so thankful for them. She is loving meeting our family members as I knew she would. Everyone just loves her too. She is quite the character, she loves to be silly. She is also understanding many of the things we say. It is incredible. She kisses goodnight, waves bye bye, is trying to crawl, says mama, dada and Dayton. We are starting to enjoy our summer vacation and starting to venture out more. We took her to Mackinac Island and the Toledo Zoo. She loves to be on the go. She has met her Great Grandma's this week and let them give her a bottle. We are so happy and are very blessed to have our family complete now.
