Gotta brush my teeth!





I am trying to teach Hope to brush her teeth and today she decided to take the toothbrush herself. She is doing new things all the time. She is walking more and getting into more things! Our 18th month checkup was good and she is in the normal range now for her gross motor skills and borderline normal for fine motor skills. This is a total blessing. Her speech is coming along and she is trying to say new things. I finally got the pictures from China printed so I can TRY to scrapbook (we'll see!) and she has changed so much since December. As I was looking at the pictures of the day we got her and the next day I just cried. I guess I'm a little emotional because Mother's Day is coming and I have been looking so forward to it. I don't expect it to be fireworks, but just to be able to participate and have the privilege of being called Mama is overwhelming. Thank you Lord for my sweet baby girl.
