Yesterday we celebrated 9 months home for Mila! We celebrated by having her last baba :( She has been down to one bottle a day for a while now and it was really more for me than it was for her. I loved snuggling her and watching her fall asleep drinking her bottle before her nap, but she was clearly losing interest in the baba. She knows bigger and better things are ahead I guess!

The past 9 months have been full of ups and downs and lots of growth, on Mila's part, and our ours as parents. She is teaching us so much and proving that love heals! We thank God for allowing us to be her parents! Happy 9 Months Home Mila!
Oh the many faces of Ms. Mila! Happy 9 months home Mila!
ReplyDeleteLove your celebrations!
Ahhhhhh.....cuteness overload!!!!!!!!!! Must look away before I go crazy from it! She is the squishiest bundle of adorableness (not sure that's a word) but honestly I can't take it! You must know how blessed you are! Her and Zoya are just beyond any word that means cute! I consider my two blonde hair, blue eyed children to be the cutest in the world (of course) but Mila and Zoya are right there at the top of the list with them! Thank you for sharing your miracle baby! Even if I keel over from cuteness overload it's so worth it! God bless and happy 9 months home Mila!
ReplyDeleteHaha, your comment made me laugh! "Squishiest bundle of adorableness" should be used a lot more often!!!
DeleteSarah she is such a beautiful little angel! I cannot get over all of her facial expressions. Some of them look just like her big sis!!
ReplyDeleteI think that's where she learned them, because I have no other ideas for where she could have picked some of them up HAHA!
DeleteAwww, she is sooo adorable--love her smiles and her varied expressions! And I see she's got her own personalized comfy chair like big sister, Zoya--very cute! Happy 9 months with your family, Mila Hope!
ReplyDeleteThat haircut makes her look SO OLD! Where is the baby I snuggled just a month ago! Happy 9 months Mila Hope!
ReplyDeleteI know, right????
DeleteShe is so absolutely adorable and I love the haircut and the cute little outfits. You are one very lucky mom. She and Zoya are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSue H.
I sure AM lucky! I love when people realize that it's ME that's lucky and not THEM hehe!
DeleteI have been silently watching and reading your blog ever since you went and got her. Today I need to post a comment. She has become the most beautiful flower that has blossomed because of the love from her family and from God. It is so neat to see how the two girls truley look like each other too! They are beautiful. I just loved seeing these pictures today. She made me smile! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your life and watching your girls grow!

ReplyDeleteHaha, you're right!
DeleteShe is absolutely 100% adorable. I can't believe its been 9 months already. Your house must be busting with LOVE. Thanks for the continued updates on your two cutie patooties.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! In many ways I can't believe it's been 9 months either, but then again those orphanage days seem so so long ago!! Yes our house is a pretty love-filled place!
DeleteOh my goodness.....do little girls get ANY cuter than this?????? Loved this "9 months home" picture fest!!! Thank you soooo much for sharing all of this sweetness with us!! I still just can't believe this is the same little jelly bean we first learned of in the orphanage!! God is so good!!!
