The newest member of the Berry/Fiori clan

I took Amelie up to the DC area this weekend to meet my mom, stepdad, grandma, brothers, sister in laws, cousins, nephews and neice. I feel truly blessed to have a family who loves her and welcomed her with huge open arms. I know many fellow adoptive parents who just don't have that in their lives. Sadly, and oddly to me, some people just don't get adoption. Luckily Amelie's new, giant family loves her to pieces! Enjoy the pics of our visit!

One more...couldn't resist

Week 5 and 6

Where do the hours go? I am jealous of people who write daily in their blogs, and who write more than a sentence of two. Well I guess a picture tells 1000 words right? Amelie is still doing great, I have never felt so complete. Wow, that sounded cheesey as all get-up.

Did I mention that D and I adopted three more kids this week? Alright fine, these are from Ana and Ron's, Amelie's friends Gigi, Brea and Alex are her fellow FCC buddies. This picture of Amelie on Gigi's daddy's back, and Gigi on Amelie's daddy's back is just too cute for words. She loves her new friends. She also, clearly, loves her fur-sisters.

Week 4 Pics

It is unbeleivable how good things are going. She is still sleeping soundly at night, still potty trained, still easy going. I almost feel guilty because I know that we are lucky. Alot of adoptive parents go through many sleep issues, eating issues, attachement issues, sensory issues and thus far (knock on wood), everything seems to be going well. I was worried about overstimulating her in the beginning, but if we have a play date or two, still sleeps very well. She is a very happy, smiley little gal. Today we had a play date with her new friend, 7 month old Sarah, and then stopped by to see her new fur-friend, 4 month old Mastiff Lily.

Just a few pics from this week....enjoy!
