2 months with Jade!

On Saturday we will celebrate 2 months with Jade! It seems such a short time and yet as if she's always been here. She's doing so well now. She is only clinging when she's tired. She's into everything but that's normal! She takes her shoes off continuously now. I have to search each time I take her somewhere for shoes. We went to WV last week to see the family. She did so well during the car ride. No one was with her in the back seat to entertain her, either! She did so well with everyone. My favorite moment during the trip was when she played the piano with our dear friend Naomi! I'll post pictures as soon as I get them.

This Saturday we will be attending the EAC adoption picnic. Several of Jade's friends from China will be there. We can't wait to see how the other girls have grown and adjusted. We'll be sure to post pictures next week!

First Long Car Ride

Jade went on her first long car ride this past weekend. We went to visit Jillian & Jo. She didn't cry as long as she was entertained! It's a 6 hour ride side. I'd be bored, too! We also went to a new pediatrician today. I really like her. She said Jade's head was proportioned with her body. She's just going to be petite. She said if she had a bigger head she would look very odd!

I reposted some of the pictures so you could see them. The one of Jade eating the Padua cake is the latest. We took that this past Thursday. We thought that since we couldn't celebrate her first birthday she could eat this one. She loved it! I'll keep posting as I get new pictures. Well we are going to go sit on the porch with Otis. She loves to climb on him! He takes it very well. Sometimes he gets up and moves but for the most part he just puts his head down. I think he enjoys the attention!

We're in May!

I was finally able to post some pictures. They are small but at least they are on there! Jade is finally settling down and beginning to enjoy herself. We went to church Sunday and she was very good the first half of the service and slept through the second half. I wish the church picture was a little bigger because she really looked cute in her dress. She learns tons everyday, and tries very hard to speak. She'll get there! She has me for a mother and you know how I love to talk!
