Doing well

Look, I'm standing! Our little cutie! Notice she is headed towards the computer? She loves to push the buttons on it.

It's been over a month since our last post, but time sure does fly when your having fun. It is such a joy to have Sananda in our family. She fits in so well with the other kids and they just adore her.

We have been home a little over 3 months now and it seems like she has always belonged to us. She has adjusted so well, is gaining weight and developing on target. Her first step was taken recently on my birthday and what a great present it was. Soon she will be all over the house on foot.

Sananda has picked up some new words, including "Cool", "Oh yea", and "Uh-Oh", which usually follows her dropping an item on the floor. :)

Some other cute things she does are taking my glasses off of me when it is her nap time or bedtime (she wants me to sleep too), looking at me and rocking side to side when our favorite songs come on the radio, and our baby also stands up by herself and then looks at us and claps. It is so cute to see how delighted she is that she can do this on her own.

We recently received another picture of Sananda of when she was still in the orphanage, it was sent to us by another family who traveled ahead of us and they kindly just sent us this picture. When I see it I remember the time we spent waiting for our baby to come home to us. We are so thankful that she finally is here. Many thanks go to the family who sent us the picture. All pictures that we get of Sananda are so precious to us and someday will be to Sananda as well.

Lynda,

Sananda sure has grown. It is so nice to know that she (and you all too) have adjusted well to each other. Keep those photos coming.

It's wonderful to hear how Sananda is adjusting so well and fitting right into the family! You all are a wonderful family to fit into, so that's simply natural. :)

Hi Lynda,
So happy to see an update and photos. Congrats to Sananda on her first steps! Samedh used to look at us and clap (and we had to clap too) when he first started walking. It is so much fun to see the joy in their eyes when they realize what they've just accomplished. Now that she's more mobile, keep an eye on the remote, keyboard, and the cell phone...
