20 Months Old!

A Sassy Little Girl

Well Jadalyn is definitely turning into a girlie girl. She is walking around the house using her stacking rings for bracelets as I type this. She loves to shop and will actually bring me what she likes off the shelf. I want to apologize to anyone who works retail in her path of destruction. I try my best to salvage the neatly stacked piles of clothes, but she gets the best of me sometimes. Tutus, purses, bracelets, phones, and hairbows are some of her favorite toys right now. We get lots of hugs and kisses! She loves to "sing" along to the radio and will dance if she really likes the song. I can only imagine what Christmas is going to be like this year. The lights and decorations will be enough to drive her crazy. I can see several Christmas trees getting rearranged in future!!

We've Been a Family of Three for a Month Now!!

I can't believe we have had our sweet little girl a month now. She grown and changed so much. She is walking around the place coping every move we make...complete opposite of the little baby we were handed in China that wouldn't walk for us...even after doing it for her nanny! She is such a little sweetie, and I don't know how we got so lucky!!

Almost time to leave!!!

Well the bags are packed, and we are almost ready to leave!! By this time next week we will have Jadalyn. I will have a new reason to be up most the night!!! We are scheduled to get her Monday afternoon. I am going to post to https://www.babyjellybeans.com/web/do/site?ID=30306 while we are gone. Click on the link if you want to follow along!!!

Leaving bright and early tomorrow

Flights Are Booked!!!

Well that was stressful, but we finally have our plane tickets!!! Cost more than I expected, but I guess that is part of having kids!! Oh well, we will be headed to the other side of the world in a couple weeks now. Won't be long before we actually have Jadalyn in our arms now!

On another note, this weekend is our 12 th anniversay. We are going out to eat and to finish last minute shopping. We received several gift cards and cash. I already ordered her pack and play, infant carrier, and a little tyke car (a girl needs her own set of wheels!). The pack and play arrived today. I can't wait to set it up and look at the pink cuteness!! The rest of the stuff should be here next week.

Baby Shower May 23, 2010

Jason's family gave us a shower Sunday. It was so much fun! I can't believe how close we are to leaving for China, but we have everything we need. I used our gift cards to order her pack n play yesterday. It should be here this week. I am posting several pictures of the wonderful gifts we received! I can't thank everyone enough for everything. Little Jadalyn is going to be so loved.

Baby Shower May 22, 2010

Alanna had a shower for my family. Everything was so cute...complete with Chinese food! She even had an adoption baby game to play. I still can't believe that I had a baby shower. It is a surreal feeling. Just looking at the picture of the cake makes me want to go get a piece!! Well here are a few more photos. Look at the great gifts Jadalyn received! Thanks again for the shower!!! And thanks to everyone for wonderful gifts!!
