Still here

Sorry for the absence. The time just continues to fly on by at such a amazing rate of speed. Little miss and I have been busy. She is growing up so quickly right before my eyes! My two year old is every bit of two right now. We had our two year well check up appointment last week. She weighs 25 pounds now! Her height is 35 inches. She is in the 25Th percentile on the growth charts with her weight and the 50TH percentile with her height. She was pronounced healthy and looking great. I did speak with her pediatrician about the formula/ melamine issues. he sent us home with a bag like contraption for me to put on her so that I can collect some of her urine. For now he just wants a Urinalysis/ UA. He wasn't really familiar with the developments per the melamine and that disappointed me. Then again he is just a regular peds Doc (not a international adoption expert) so..... Anyhoo, I have to work on collecting that urine. The first time was a bust.

We have our second post adopt update with our new social worker on Thursday. It's an extra one crammed in between China's 2 required updates per the requirements for her Re adoption here in Virginia. The picture below shows you what is becoming a now frequent occurrence around here lately. My girl can throw a fit right there with the best of them. She changes on a dime! Mainly when I tell her no (sigh). I was a little worried that there might be something wrong but after a post on the Rumor Queen forum It seems to be just normal two year old behavior. And I am definitely not alone :) We have been using a little "time in" time in the rocking chair. It seems to help most of the time but wow sometimes there is just no consoling her until she's done.

As for potty training, Not so much. Zero interest right now but I'm not pushing her.

Just being cute in her puppy tails below. Her hair is getting long. She is still in my bed at night. I like haing her there acually. She will nap in her crib during the day. As for the nights, it's still hit or miss as to if she sleeps through the night or more often not. She cries out a lot at night. She still has her paci too, but only to sleep. I'm waiting til she can speak a little better before it goes bye bye. She's due to move up to the two year old class in day care in January tho. I don't think she can bring her paci there. Should be interesting.

Having a tea party with Sissy and Chase at MeeMa's :)

So cute these two :)

Happy Abba!

More fun playing with Chase.

The next one is blurry but I love it. I love how their both working together on the same puzzel. These two play so well together :)

Next in her Thanksgiving attire for school (munching on a waffle).

Thanksgiving dinner at Uncle Hooties. I had a lot to be thankful for this year! Below with cousin Christopher :)

Her first Thanksgiving meal was much enjoyed :)

Then she left me to go sit with Meema and Da.

Yes Siree! Totally Thankful!!!!

I can't wait to celebrate the Holidays with my Abba. We got our tree tonight. She was so excited. I did a full size live one this year (forgot what a mess they make). Currently it's taking a long drink. Will decorate it tomorrow night. She's so cute. She calls it a Mismas tree :) Pictures sooner rather then later once were done decorating.
