8 month Liliana-versary!

I can't believe it's ONLY been 8 months since we saw Lili for the first time.

Unreal.

We haven't even been home for 8 months.

I look at her now and I can't even see the resemblance to the girl we met in Guangzhou, China just 8 months ago. She has come so far, not only developmentally, socially and emotionally, but physically. She just doesn't even look like the same girl. It's absolutely amazing.

Her hair has grown and become shiny and thicker, she has gained weight and height, even her coloring is different. She is so PINK and rosy now.

I try saying Chinese words to her now, words that she used to say to us, and she just looks away and shakes her head. I call her 'Xiu Yuan' sometimes and she says "No, Lili !"

And don't even get me started on her sense of humor and how FUNNY she is. She just 'gets' it, you know what I mean? Nothing gets past her..........

She's something else!

Happy Liliana-versary!!
