Sixth Month Anniversary!! Tempus Fugit

It is hard to believe that the day that we were blessed with Emily Grace was 6 months ago today. In some ways it seems longer and in other ways, just like yesterday. She has progressed and grown so very much in 6 months that it is like we clearly have a different daughter. She has grown so much and is so independent that it is clear that we no longer have a baby but a little girl. I am thrilled and saddened all at once. She is everything that we had ever dreamed and more. We are so blessed and we thank God everyday. She may have been born in China but this little girl was definitely meant to be ours. She fits with our famiy so well, she might as well share our genes. We are so in love...can you tell? :-) Her five new teeth have pretty much sprung and her newest favorite thing to say is "NO." She replaced her most recent word which was "Yellow." She must love the color or the sound of the word or both...she runs around spotting everything that is yellow and points it out while yelling the most sourthern form of the word.."Yallo" ..I love it. She also tells David and me "I love you" often. I melt each and every time...no kidding. Here are few pics of Emily on "Gotcha Day" and some pics taken recently. What a big difference!!

Hey Amy, David and Emily Grace! Happy 6 months! For some weird reason I hadn't been able to access your website for a few weeks and thought you had deleted it...checked with the Neppls' and they said it still worked so I tried again...weird. Anyway, so glad that David is fine...what a horrible scare. Glad to know that you all are well and looking forward to July! Blessings!
