5.5 months

Aniyah has been home 5 1/2 months.
What a difference.
Her personality is delightful, she is fully expressive, laughs easily, smiles all day long, loves to dance and sing and is a walking/running machine! She goes to bed and wakes up talking and singing to her Sunshine Care Bear, it's precious! She and Isaac are thoroughly excited to see each other again each morning and embrace like they haven't seen each other in years, all smiles and long hugs. As soon as we get in the car she starts talking, melodic talking, so we call it singing. The entire car ride, doesn't matter how long, she is singing. She has a sweet disposition but is also very strong willed. The girl knows what she does and doesn't want, and she will let you know. I remember this stage with Isaac, and remember thinking that it will be so much better for him (and me!) once he can talk more.  She is talking some, she is saying words like momma, Aaahhhh-Di (Abi), Aahhhhh-dak (Isaac), juice, shoes, dog, poo-poo, ...you know, all the most important ones! She has recently started saying something for thank you. She signs "more", "please", and we are working on "sorry." 
She's doing so good. So so so good!  We are grateful to our God, our Father, who continues to grow her, provide for her and sustain her.
Here are a few pictures from Easter this past Sunday. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow! We are filled with joy!
