First Month...Full Circle

It has been a little over a month since Gotcha Day and I have to say this month has flown by and has been a worldwind!  

In the month Kailey has:
*Met all of her family, several close friends...bonded with a few too!


*Visited her new school (well...it will be once the bureaucracy red tape gets cut)
*Celebrated our first Christmas Eve Service
 
*Celebrated four family Christmas's, including a white Christmas....
 
Each brought a smile to her face as she experienced so many firsts, including what Santa brought her
 
 
*Eaten just about every food put in front of her.
 
*Did well with a babysitter (aka her Auntie Lucia!)
*Adjusting to living with 2 dogs...who lives have changed dramatically!  She is getting comfy enough to pet them gently.
*Has still NOT taken a nap (noted in her file that she did nap...how I miss that!)
*Is NOT afraid of the dark (again as her file noted she was)
*Is not sleeping as well as we would like...she is a light sleeper (again was noted she was a deep sleeper)
*Went to the Doctor, for hearing tests and a starting to form a plan. (Today)...Has at least 2 more Dr appt next week too.
*Unfortunately has strep throat and fever (thank goodness we were already going to the above Doctor, so he treated her for that too).
*She feels safe, trusting her parents and new life and changes, and no longer gathering food.
*Love to brush her teeth, wash her hands, folds her closes and sets the table...all without being asked...She is a very, very good helper
*Is giving huge bear hugs and kisses to Momma and Daddy,
