MAKING PEACE

Sarah is finally making peace with her car seat. She used to screaming every single time I put her there, but now she has decide that is a good place for a nap. Thank GOD! been in a traffic jam with a baby screaming all the way was no picnic , another mile stone for us. Sweet dreams, my princess.

WALKING AND TEETHING

Waiting for my food.


I want to get up and walk.
Ready to go a out.

These teeth are killing me!
I'm up, all by myself.

Miss Sarah wants to walk, she's been holding herself to everything she can. More teeth coming out. Which means that she's moody these days. Poor thing who can blame her.

SARAH ,JAKE AND ELVIS

I love my furry babies and I want to take pictures of Sarah and the dogs, but sometimes she's a little rough with them. Last night I try to take pictures of Sarah and Jake, it was not easy, my poor boy stood there while she try to pull his coat and bow.

It's easier to take picture of the dogs .
Elvis had a better time with his photo.


The best I could do.

NINE MONTHS

Today Sarah turn nine months and she has enjoy her day, we went to see Shrek(not to good) then we did a little shopping and then back to work. As a single mom I'm lucky , because I can take Sarah to work the advantage to be the owner. The bad part was that I had to return to work three days after we arrived from Vietnam , but no complains. She loves that parrot and the music the chair makes.

RUBY TUESDAY

On wensday we went to Ruby Tuesday to celebrate our first month at home. We went with auntie Nanette and we had a great time. Actually so far we had been to every restaurant in town. Sarah's mom is not a very good cook and after work going home to cook is not that great.

Things I like: Smile a lot
It was her.
To eat the phone cable.
Use my bottle as a pillow
What I don't like:
The car seat, "Take me out of here"

FIRST MONTH HOME II

So far has been the greatest experience ever, I will do it all over again.
Miss Sarah has again weight, has two teeth, she's babbling a lot and she can stand we help. She's friendly and love to laugh.
If you have read other blogs, you probably have read this, but trust me is the truth (at least in my case), I feel that we have always been together, can't imagine my life without her. She has the biggest smile every morning when she gets up. She's a good sleeper.
One of my worries before coming home was her reaction towards the dogs, it was unbelievable at 3:00 in the morning six dogs together, they stood there in silence and she was like let me touch these things that are looking at me. Like she had saw them all her live.
Things she doesn't like are the car seat, stroller and her crib. But I hope she will come around.
As for people comments when they sew us together so far they ask me if her father is asian, I said yes and that's it.
When people found out that she's adopted they say: oh she's so lucky, but the truth is that, I'm the lucky one. Thank you God and my beloved angel in heaven for put us together.

SARAH'S SHOWER

THE BEGINING

My journey to Sarah start on april of 2006.

I'm lucky to say that my paper chase was very smooth and with the support of family and friends my documents went to Vietnam on december of 2006 and on january 11 just one month of wait I saw my beautiful girl for the first time.
On march 21th I made the long trip to get my Sarah and to my great luck it was a match made in heaven, like if were meant to be, my stay in Hanoi was very good I learned a lot about my baby's birth country, I hope to teach her as much as I can about Vietnam and her people so she can feel proud of her roots.
Now we are home learning something new everyday, she's a very smart little girl which makes everyday an adventure.
