Bob, This One is For You!!

Here is a picture of Lily fresh from a bubble bath and just hanging out playing with her toys. I love the PJ's for kids with the footie's and this particular one that Lily is wearing is my favorite.

A Few of My Favorite Things

I thought that I would take a few minutes to post my favorite ornaments for Christmas 2007. The first set speaks for themselves. I ordered the ornamnet "Waiting for Lily" in Novemeber 2005, I thought for sure that I would have ordered the follow up ornament in November 2006. However Lily was not ready for us then and we had to order the First Christmas Home 2007.
The second set are Grants favorites this year, Spongebob, abonible Snowman and one with his name on it. They are true Grant style ornaments.
Sorry for the lame post, however I did want to show off my favs.

CHI Christmas Party

This is my friend Debbie and her daughter Ellie. Debbie and her husband Jeff adopted Ellie at the same time we adopted Lily. Ellie is about 1 month older than Lily and from the Guangdong Province.
This past Saturday was the adoption agency's Christmas party. It was so fun to see some of our travel group and friends that we have made along the adoption journey. I think Lily enjoyed seeing some babies and children that looked like her.

The Shirt Says it All

I bought this shirt about 3 weeks ago at Old Navy. As soon as I saw it, I just had to have it because the statement is so true.
This past week has been a great Lily week for 2 reasons. The first reason is because Lily has been sitting on my lap more and really snuggling into my body and getting comfortable. Before Lily would sit in my lap for maybe 2 to 3 minutes and then want to get down and play, unless of course if I was feeding her a bottle. Lately she really likes to just snuggle and relax, which is just fine with me. The second reason is that Lily has started carry around 2 different stuffed animals (a lovey). The first animal is a little lamb that we named Chloe, I love that name and the second animal is a bunny that was given by my neighbor Hannah so we call her Anna. The fact that she is started to do these things is wonderful because it shows that she is attaching well and bonding.
Please notice the barrets in one of the pics. I love doing hair, when do you think I can bust out the hot rollers
