Happy 1st Birthday Mia!

We are so sad that we did not get to spend her 1st birthday with her, but we are looking forward to a lifetime of celebration!

Care package #2 is on its way to her right now. We have tentative travel dates, November 5-19th. Things are starting to get very exciting around here!

Today we had cake with family to celebrate Mia's 1st birthday in her honor. She got lots of presents and it was all adorable clothes! Pictures will follow soon.

I can't wait to see her in these darling outfits.

Thank you all for your love and support.

Mia's Room

Yesterday

Today

We decided we would put the crib together when we finally had our referral. My Mom & Dad gave us the crib last year when it was on sale and we've kept it in a box all this time. The crib is up now. This is a huge milestone in our journey and I'm so excited to see it. Well the Daddy-to-be sprung into action today and built Mia's crib. I will post more pictures when I get a little decorating done. Yay!!! I get to go shopping.

Now more about Mia!!!

Mia is 11 months old today 8/27/10! What a precious gift that I received these photos on her 11 months birthday!

Thank you to the Angels that made this possible.

So this is what we've learned about our daughter in the last few hours. She was born and found on the same day 9/27/2009. From the records, she weighed 8.5lbs at birth and measured 19.2 inches long. She is a quiet baby, likes to listen to music and likes her toys. She is a moderate sleeper. From her update we find out that she is 28" tall and weighing 22 lbs and she has 8 teeth. She likes to eat and is not a picky eater. Some of her favorite foods are rice, steamed eggs, vegetable broth on her rice, cookies and fruit.

We are so in love with her already! We're coming soon baby hang on!

Finally Fedex Delivers!

Here are the girls waiting desperately for Fedex to arrive. How do they know that I'm waiting for someone.

I just think that's so funny! .

The moment we've all been waiting for...

The moment was not as exciting as expected since I had her picture and updated pictures in my hand, but after all the Fedex guy did deliver the package today with all her medical information translated, copies of her records when she was admitted to the hospital when she was found and copies of her check up at 8 mos. I'll post more about that later. This post is just about FRANKIE the Fedex guy. Now some of you may wonder why that name is a big deal to me. Well that's our Godson's name and Mia's future protector. It was yet another amazing sign from above that she is meant to be ours. I thought it was interesting too how a grown man says his name is FRANKIE, not Frank.

We received the greatest gift!!!

I sent a care package to Mia through Ann of Red Thread. I want to send a more personal one too but I wanted to get one there as fast as possible. I open up my email and this is what I find today...

Pictures taken yesterday of my baby!!! Oh my goodness!!!

She's a big girl!!!!

Here she is with her Nanny. I love the spikey hair and those cheeks.

We are so in love!!!

We have a DAUGHTER!!!!!!!

Not of my flesh, nor of my bone

but I am so happy to call you my own.

Please Welcome....
