The big 10 months :)

KIYA IS 10 MONTHS OLD!!!!!

I can hardly believe it. In a few short weeks she will have been with us as long as she was at the care center in Ethiopia. Wow....

Here are 10 of the many thousands of things we love about our little girl:

1) She is learning how to give kisses.

2) She has quite the range in her vocal abilities from a low monster like sound to a very high pitched sound.

3) She says Dada a lot and when in her high pitched mode she squints her eyes.

4) She is learning to take her first steps. And just yesterday while holding on to the table took a sideways step all by herself.

5) She give hugs :)

6) She reaches up for us when she wants to be held.

7) She can eat Cheerios like a champ

8) Bananas are still her favorite food

9) She is taking baths in the big girl bath tub with her favorite whale cup of course.

10) She loves to laugh with us and just because and it is truly the greatest sound.

We are truly honored and blessed to be Kiya's parents. How this little girl found her way into our hearts and home amazes me to this day. She is a perfect fit. She was meant to be our little girl and I thank God every day for her.
