April 1, 2010 Six Months-No I'm Not Foolin'

Can you believe that our six months would be on April Fool's Day...Really, what kind of joke is that?
Anyhow it has been a great six months. The time has just flown by. It seems like we were just in Seoul, finding another Dunkin Donuts for breakfast.
Finalization is just around the corner. We can do it now. Just waiting for all the paperwork to be done and need to call our attorney to see if he has scheduled a date yet.
It will be so nice to have it done. All done. Nothing else to do. I can't imagine how peaceful that will be after this roller coaster of emotion and paperwork to finally get to this point. Done.Done.Done. That just rolls of the tongue.
Even though the six months has gone by quickly it still feels like we have had Isabella Eun Jin forever. She just bounced right into her place and has adjusted well.

Sweet Eun Jin,
We love you so much. We would do anything for you. You are such an important part of our family. We waited so long for you and now we can't imagine life without you. You are such a sweet baby. We love to be kissed by you.

17 Months Old-What A Happy Girl

I can't believe this girl is 17 months old. She is such a joy to us. She has a very even temper most of the time.
She understands everything we say to her even though sometimes she does not like it.
She is very good at waving her hand while telling you to "Go Away!"
She has four molars now. She got them all within the last two weeks or so. So that gives a grand total of 12 teeth right now.
She LOVES her belly button. I have to keep one piece outfits on her so that she does not bug it to irritation.
She says quite a few words that we can understand but also does a funny babbling conversation to me.
She "sings" when she hears music. It is so cute.
She still loves food. This girl will eat anything.
We still give her 3 small bottles a day. One when waking up, nap time and then at bedtime. We switched to goat's milk because she has been getting a rash on her arms and neck. Hopefully this will help her out. She was having constant diaper rash and that has cleared up, possibly the milk???
She loves to pull on the quilt threads while falling to sleep.
She will stroke my cheek and say "Soft, soft."
She loves the slide at the park.
She likes to "play" WII with my husband. She sits right next to him with the extra remote and thinks she is playing.
She still likes to SCREAM at Jackson for even looking at her...
She LOVES Joelee.
She would let me just hold her all day if I wanted to.
She gets crabby at night when my husband gets home-he wonders why-it's because he spoils her and holds her every minute so she expects it and she gets whiney when he puts her down.
She is great at entertaining herself.
She is so smart. She can figure anything out.
She thinks she runs the house.
She is quite secure and you can tell that she feels safe with us.
