Three Months Home TODAY!

Has it really been three months? ONLY three months??  It seems like Florie has been with us for so much longer.....in the good way it seems like you have known your spouse longer than you have :)  She continues to blossom and is a joy most of the time.  Over the past few weeks her comfort level has grown even more, and so now we are hearing a lot more NO! and seeing a lot more falling on the floor temper tantrums.  I am also learning that lil' sweet girls are a bit more savvy and manipulative than stinky lil' boys at the same age....but, we continue to learn and grow, learn and grow.  And of course, lots of love and hugs and kisses along the way!

She's grown so much!! She looks so happy and comfortable. Right where she belongs. Hope she's not missing the boys too much and enjoying having you all to herself. Congrats on 3 months home (I can't believe it's already been 3 mos.!)

I remember others talking about how 3 months was some magical turning point. While we have all definitely made major strides here, I'm not waiting for that moment a light switch turns on...I'm just enjoying the daily and weekly progress. It's definitely a process.

Take care!

She's a pretty happy camper, isn't she? You must be loving all the girlie stuff with her-it's a pretty special thing for us moms. Congratulations on such a perfect fit!
