photos from today....

ONE month since Anna was placed in our arms!

One month ago Anna was placed in our arms. It was a beautiful yet heartbreaking day.
Memories that are too personal to share right now. BUT we have come so far with Anna at home.
She is a great sleeper. She still doesn't like to eat much food but she drinks good and I am still giving her extra calories in her bottle with cream. Today Anna weighed 16.3 pounds.
Anna is still adjusting to life with us. She is very happy most days but has off days too. She is very busy she loves to be into my cabinets and her toy box.
Anna has a very sweet personality. She loves Isaac and Ella. She can even say thier names but only will on her terms! haha!

The day we saw her at HOLT...




At the Hotel in Korea when she woke up from her nap...




Anna yesterday with Isaac...

Night, Night Anna...

DRUM ROLL PLEASE....................

ANNA IS 16 POUNDS now!!!!!!!!!
In 3 weeks she gained 1 POUND!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my BIG girl today.........

HOW can it be 3 weeks home already?

WOW!!!
3 weeks home.
So sorry I don't blog much. I will try to be better! haha!
School is starting soon. Isaac and Ella are at Nana and Papa's house for a few days so Anna and I are here!
Anna is doing great. She sleeps like a champ. Eating and drinking is much better. i am beginning to know her more. She is like a grazer. She likes small amounts every hour.
I think she put some weight on. I will know for sure tomorrow as yes I bought a baby/toddler scale. I really need to know her weight. She was 15 pounds when she came home. So tomorrow I get to see if she gained. I really hope so. I am adding extra cream into her bottles.
Anna is a sweet baby. We all love her very much and so HAPPY she is home!!!
Here is my DOLLY....

Anna's first day at the POOL!

Let's say I have a baby girl FISH! :) Anna loves the pool! She was splashing around and so HAPPY! I admit watching 3 kids at once was UMMMM challenging! HAHA! Each one wanted to go in every direction. Next time hubby is GOING! :)

Here are a few photos!...

2 WEEKS home and 15 months old!

Wow has it REALLY been 2 weeks home? Feels like I have known Anna forever! She turned 15 months old on the 7th. Anna has adjusted so WELL! Her adjustment has been pretty easy. She grieved at first, woke up a lot at night and looked confused but she is all smiles and laughter all day now! Anna melts ANYONES heart she meets. The kids have adjusted well to Anna but don't get me wrong they both have had their moments when they feel left out or maybe not much attention is on them right now.
That is the hardest for me. I know I am putting everything I have into Anna right now and her attachment. I think it is very important for her bonding.
Anna is a small little girl and weighs 15 pounds. I have been told by my doctor to add more calories to her diet. So we have been adding more formula and heavy cream to every bottle and some to her yogurt which she LOVES!
we go back to the doc in 1 month and I hope all my hard work has paid off! I try to have her feed every few hours too since she drinks so little. She is still in 6 month clothes. She is a peanut and so adorable and we all love her very much!!!!

My sweetie!!!

Big brother, Big sister and Little sister! :)

My friend Amy from NJ sent ANNA this adorable outfit. I actually wanted to buy it online and never did. So when I opened it I thought WOW how perfect and smiled so BIG!!! Ella had a BIG sister outfit I bought a few months ago! SO I couldn't resist a few photos!!!

The BEST I could do with all 3 in the photo! Anna doesn't like to sit still for very long!AHHH Ella blinked! HAHA!!










I love my girl..



Wanting a snuggle!

One week home!

Today marks 1 week being home already and time is going FAST!
Anna is the sweetest baby. She is doing so well. She is adjusting well. Her sleeping is improving and will every night. She takes a good 2 hour nap during the day but settling in for the night takes a little longer. But she is waking less and crying shorter times.
Took Anna to the Doctor and we just need to get some more weight on her, she is 15 pounds.
I am bumping her formula up and adding more protein. I hope it works.
Anna has a very SWEET personality. She is very LOVABLE. She smells so wonderful like a baby!
Anna is the dancing queen. She hears music and she wiggles, it is the cutest thing!
We are so blessed to have this sweet soul as our daughter!

Me and my baby....

HOW did I get so lucky to be her Mommy?

Anna is a living DOLL.

Everything is going so good. Her night/days are still a little crazy but we are slowing moving everything by 1 hour and it is working pretty good.

She is getting used to her crib.
