Six months ago yesterday, George and I were in DC picking up our beautiful daughter. It was an amazing day. She has added so much to our family. She is LiLi's best friend on some days and well..on other days they don't like each other very much. This shows that they are truly sisters!
Bella has changed so much. She is talking in complete sentences. It is amazing that she has picked up on the english language in 6 months. She sleeps well..an hour nap during the day and 11 hours at night. She also eats well..she doesn't like most veges very much but will eat them if she is rewarded with a cookie. :) She also loves chocolate milk..just like big sister LiLi. She loves water and the girls only have juice on rare occasions.
All of her medical issues have cleared up..such as scabies, giarrdea, etc. She is very healthy and hasn't been sick once. She is gaining weight and getting taller everyday. She now weighs 23 pounds (still so tiny for a 2 year old).
This child is STUBBORN. She normally spends a good portion of the day in time-out. :) She LOVES to aggravate LiLi. It's funny LiLi is so serious at times and listens to the rules. She wants to please mommy and daddy and it is very seldom that she purposely disobeys us. Bella on the other hand, tries to see how far she can stretch the rules before she is punished. She has gotten better because George and I are extremely consistent. LiLi is forever telling Bella what she shouldn't be doing..we keep telling her that it is mommy and daddy's job. Needless to say we spend ALOT of time at museums, parks, etc. Life is great when we are not cooped in the house when it rains, etc. Overall, the girls have adjusted well to each other. We are truly blessed to have them in our lives. We are so glad that God chose them to be our daughters.
I am going to post a couple of pictures of Bella and I will post about our trip to Niagara Falls in a few days! :)

wow 6 months already! It is amazing how much she has grown and how much healthier she looks now than when she came to live with her forever family. I am so happy that things are working out well with Bella and LiLi. I really love reading your updates and always check for updated pictures of the girls.
I can't believe it's been six months already! Congrats!
She looks like she has grown since I've seen her. I am glad everything is going well. Can't wait to see who your next child (son?) will be!
Wow...6 months already? Bella looks great! I love the picture in the white dress..she looks like a little princess! Lili sounds like an excellent role model and big sister. Looking forward to hearing about your Niagra Falls vacation.
