Well it's been a few days since I have updated. Kirsten and I have been enjoying the company of Tom, his mom and my mom starting this sunday. Tom's mom had a great visit and fell in love with Kirsten and everyday Kirsten is turning more and more into a daddys girl...I know Tom will have a hard time leaving on Monday. Kirsten has been sick the last few days but seems to be getting better slowly and it doesnt seem to bother her very much. From watching the pgn out dates it look like we should be out of pgn next week!!! I am very excited to get out of pgn and have Kirsten's adoption finialized and to get back to our house in Florida. We took Kirsten in the pool here at the Marriott last weekend and I will post some pictures below.




*She is all over the place*


*Look no hands :-)*

I actually did it. I cut Kirsten's mullet off!!!! She has always had this bottom part of the back that has been long but in the last month her hair has started filling in and growing underneath it and it just looked really bad so tonight I finally got up the guts to cut it off! She looks bald to me now :-( but at least the back will all grow in all together now. I will attach a before and after picture.



Before:



After:




I know I'm gonna regret cutting it tomorrow....oh well! Onto some other news, Tom is bring his mom with him to come see Kirsten on Friday. This will be the first time his mom has ever seen her so it should be fun :-)

OK So let me tell you how hard it is to try and navigate the editing part of this blog in spanish! LOL and I don't know a word of spanish (other then the basics good morning, hello, see you tomorrow, etc!) Kirsten has had 3 very very good days....very few tantrums, has been very loving and happy and she seems to be settling into her new schedule really good. I have noticed it seems like she is having nightmares sometimes during her naps and at night but if I wake her up she seems to be ok after that. We are still waking up at least twice through the night and this is a hard adjustment coming from the baby who slept through the night at 4 months old. I am gonna try baby oatmeal in her nightime bottle instead of rice cereal and see if that holds her over a bit longer.

I am so excited Tom is coming next Friday to visit for a week and I miss him SOOOOOOOO much. It's amazing how much you can miss someone in such a short period of time (this is the first time in 6 years we have been apart longer then a few days). I am getting very home sick and hoping we get out of PGN in the next 2 weeks and we can be home by the end of August. Thankfully our attorney is known to get POA for the final sign off and Kirsten's birth city does same day birth certifcate issuing so the end of august could definatly be a possibility! I am just gonna pray over and over that our agency and attorney will really step up to the plate and hopefull make it a very short stay after pgn :-)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Here are afew pictures below.


*She has every toy in the world but would rather play with her stroller LOL*


*Yup still playing with the stroller*


*Mom bought me this cool Winnie the Pooh at the store in Guate*

Current Mood: e-x-h-u-s-t-e-d!!!!!

This little girl can MOVE! She is all over the place!!! She is so cute but she can be such a brat too. We are slowly correcting a few things like what the word "No" means and that it really isn't funny and she is starting to listen to me finally which is awesome because she was getting into everything. We are starting to correct the - oh your eating well I guess that means I'm intitled to some of your food too - which she is not liking but today was the first day I told her she wasn't getting any because she already had her lunch and she didn't cry for my food again. Now if we could just work on not throwing tantum's when she doesn't get her way we would be set! I guess when you bring a 10 month old baby into their forever home there are gonna be things that need to be "fixed". Below are a few pictures from the last few days. Ashley is here picking up Bella and the girls just LOVE playing together.
