The Journey to our Daughter: 6 months ago

At this time 6 months ago today, I was on the last bit of our 24 hour trip to bring our daughter home! Chad and our boys met Josie and I at the airport and it truly is a day I will never forget. Josie has changed so much in the past 6 months. She went from being a quiet shy tiny girl to being not shy at all, and very vocal about what she wants. She does her very best to keep up with her 3 big brothers. She tries to say almost anything and has at least 65 words in her vocabulary that she says on her own. The latest being "snack". She uses this one when she wants some sort of junk food. I think her favorites are M&M's. She also says "please" a lot now. She can now climb up on chairs and does so all the time. She went from cruising around furniture to flat out running. When we were bringing her home our family had no idea what life with 4 kids would be like. While it is definitely busy and we are always on the go, none of us would change it for anything in the world. Josie was truly meant to be part of our family. Her personality just fits our family and I am honored and blessed to get to be her Mommy.
