After 2 weeks at home....

All Smiles

We have been home now for 2 weeks and starting to get adjusted and get times on schedule.  I have had a lot of people ask if we were going to continue this blog.  The answer is yes.  It will not be a daily blog but we will post every 1-2 weeks.  So for the last 2 weeks, how has it been?  We have been busy.  The first week home was just trying to get Sarah Grace to settle in and adjust to her new forever home and family.  She is doing great.  She has become an explorer.  The first couple of days at home, she would just sit mainly and play with her toys.  Since then we have had to toddler proof everything.  She enjoys walking around with her walking toys or any other toy she can push across the floor.  She became very familiar with the steps and where they are.  We got smart and put up a gate.  After she went to bed one night I put up the gate, the next morning she crawled right over as normal and when she got there she stood up and worked her best to try and figure out how to get thru.  Eventually she gave up and now she has realized there is no need to waste her energy going that way.  She is sleeping pretty good now and when she wakes up, she is so precious.  First thing in the morning is so fun.  She will wake up with smiles and grins.  She is so lazy while drinking her first bottle and that makes it fun to hold her.

After that, she is ready to go.  She is amazingly smart I think.  She watches and remembers things that you wouldn't expect.  Amy was at home with her the other day while I was at work and she had stepped into the kitchen real quick.  When she came back to the living room, Sarah Grace had positioned herself on the changing pad and was laying on her back with the powder in hand acting as if she was putting powder on herself.  Each day is a step forward in this new life for both she and the 2 of us.  Figuring out what our new life looks like for now is what we are working on.  That will all change again in February when Seth arrives.  This little angel changes so much as time goes by.  Her hair is growing like crazy, we are ready for it to get long enough for bows.  She is eating great and is just amazing to watch.  I walked in the first day after work and when I came around the door, she saw me.  She pushed her toys aside and crawled towards me for a hug.  I think she is starting to love her mommy and daddy.  I have seen her lunge from my arms into Amy's.  She is a blessing to us and we are so thankful for her.  All the adjusting can be exhausting at times, but just looking at her smiling face with grins from ear to ear will melt all that away.  She is an amazing little girl.
