Maya's Gotcha Day 2012

Six years ago today Maya was placed in our arms for the first time and our lives haven't been the same since.  Today we celebrate her "Gotcha Day", just as we have every year since that day.  She fits perfectly in our family, just as God planned.

6 Months Old

Well, we've been home for three weeks now and everything is going better than we could have anticipated.  Ciana is a very good baby.  It only took about a week to get her back on schedule and she is sleeping through the night now.  She seems like a very happy and content baby most of the time.  Wednesday she turned 6 months old!  She is not crawling yet, but she scoots herself a little ways on her belly if she wants to get to something bad enough.  She's getting better at sitting up, though she still falls over at times.  She likes to be on her feet.  She is very quick with a smile and she has the cutest giggle!  She chatters sometimes, but she is pretty quiet most of the time.  I'm sure she said her first word last night though.  At least I think it was her first word.  Maya was holding her and she loudly and clearly said "Mom!".  We all heard it and I jokingly told Jeff that I taught it to her that day.  She probably didn't know what she was saying, but I like to think she did. :)
