Yes, it has actually been six months already since our sweet Alena made such an impact on our lives. She is an amazing little person.
In six months she has:
~ Gone from creeping to RUNNING
~ Learned to say: mama, mommy, dada, nana, up, light, hot, bye, baba and she also signs "more".
~ She freely gives kisses to all who want them
~ She climbs EVERYTHING
~ loves to JUMP in the pool!
~ She eats a wide array of food but picks and chooses when she wants to eat them!! : )
She is such a character. She does a lot of mimicking and she's just very comical.
It does my heart good to see her so content. Each morning she reaches for either her nana or Aunt Denise to take her, while I go off to work.
I love coming home to my girls. They are so special.
I love that so many of you have followed our journey since the beginning of our adoption process. I can't believe that it has been 2 1/2 years since we began exploring adoption. What an amazing door to open. We are so blessed to have Alena as our daughter and are so thankful for our trip to China and can't wait to bring the girls back again some day.
Love to all,
Jenni

That is just beautiful!! I can't believe it has been 6 months already!
I always say this, but you keep me going! The rumors are now 2-3 YEARS after LID. Ugh. That's depressing. We're just waiting for our passports to arrive next week then everything goes to the Chinese Consulate. You have two beautiful daughters!
Congrats on your 6 months! Alena is too cute for words.

Wow time flies! Your so lucky Jenni, so very blessed!
And she gets more beautiful everyday, but don't get fooled by the twinkle in her eye.

Happy Anniversary! Sounds like Alena is right at home. :-) It's great to see how far they've come in such little time.
Hope you all enjoyed Independence Day with your new little citizen!
Jenni,
Congrats on being home for 6 months!! It is hard for me to believe you have been home that long. I am sure the time has just flown by for you.
I always love reading about your beautiful daughters and their adventures and of course, looking at their fabulous pictures.
PS...Been having some technical difficulties leaving messages on your blog but it looks like it is finally working for me.
WOW, 6 months already!!!
Time sure does fly. Glad to hear all is well.
