WHEW!! Holidays wear me out!

I have just gotten over the nastiest of all stomach flues! Sorry for the lack of holiday posts, but I'm telling ya - it's been rough here:) You never appreciate your health more than the first day you finally feel better after a sickness!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, New Year, etc. We were very busy, but we had a wonderful first Christmas with Lily. As most babies do, she loved the boxes and bows far more than she loved any of the toys contained within them:)

A kind of a bummer, our computer got infected with a virus that invaded my email. Sorry to any of my pals who got nutty emails from me. I think we've got it all under control finally!

We applied for Lily's social security number today, which I believe ties up the last of our adoption loose ends. Time to start the process again, right? :) KIDDING!

In other Lily news, our girl was nine months old yesterday. I can't believe it. She had a check-up and is 30 inches long!!! She's hitting (or exceeding!!) all of her milestones EXCEPT for movement. She just will not crawl! She rolls to what she wants and is starting to pull up to standing, which leads me to believe she may just skip crawling altogether and start walking. Just another reminder that they do what they want when they want! :)
I need to get caught up with all of you and your blogs! I miss reading them! :) My husband is consumed with the Iowa caucuses on tv right now (he's an MSNBC junkie!), so maybe this is a good time to be online! :)

Happy new year, and welcome back. Glad you are kicking the virus (both your health and computer!) :-)

Congrats on getting that Social Security #! Now you can be eligible for that big adoption tax credit that we all dream about, right? :-)

Our middle son never crawled. He would roll, scoot, whatever, then one day took off running! (He is 17now and still hasn't slowed down:)

I just found your blog and sobbed and sobbed through March and April. What an amazing story, and an amazing baby girl you have.

I had a baby boy 2 days after Lily was born the easy way but 1970 someone placed me in my mom's arms when I was five days old. So I am a huge softy for adoption. God bless you, bless you, bless you.
