TWO YEAR GOTCHA DAY!!!!

Believe it or not, it's been two years since God blessed us with our gorgeous, smart and funny little Olivia! Can't believe it's been that long, or short, depending on the day! :) I can't tell you how awesome she is. I even sometimes wish her birth mom could know her and know that she gave us an awesome little girl and she should be proud! She is potty trained..YAY!! Took 3 days really...still not at night, but that's ok! She does everything during the day. I have always been proud of the fact that our 3 boys were trained at 2.5..well, the streak continues bc Olivia was 2 yrs and 7 mths!! YAY!!! She is 37" tall, weighs 27 pds and has BROWN hair! Her skin is a little darker now, but not as dark as some. She does have a spicy attitude! She likes to pitch fits. She's started this talking with her tongue sticking out???? And since we got the Asian wax out of her ears, she is talking ALOT better! She is very smart and LEFT handed! She loves her brothers and vice versa. She chooses if she's a momma's girl or daddy's girl, depending on the day, but mostly she's a momma's girl! I can't go ANYWHERE without her. I even have to sneak out without telling her bye or Anthony has a hard time calming her down! Really...she's an awesome little girl and I feel so bleesed to have her and look forward to her growing and celebrating every year of Gotcha Day...a day that will be in our hearts and minds forever...Thank you God for our 4 blessings, but the awesome experience of adoption and bringing Olivia into our family!
Learning how to use scissors..dangerous, but she LOVES it! She cuts LITTLE BITTY pieces and they go all over the floor, but that's ok.
I mean really, how beautiful is she?

This is a picture we received from someone who visited her orphanage..it was taken the June before we even knew who she was in July, so this is a very special thing. Lana and I made this for her and I was gonna change out the picture, but I think this one will stay in there. When you ask her where she was born or where she is in this picture she tells you, "Nina" (China) SOOOO sweet!


Miss priss!!!



Look how tall she is! She might be tall for an Asian????
