Attention please...

Look who stood up today!

I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

Rosa got to meet her Abbie this week. She already knows that Abbie is gonna spoil her. I think Abbie gave her spaghetti one night...

Guess who's growing up???

You got it! She is getting so big. I expect to see her pulling up any day now. This is what I found when I went to get her from her nap recently...

I didn'tknow whether she was going to stand up or fly out. I think she makes a pretty cute super hero!
Rosa is getting a lot of hair too! Pretty soon I will have to do more to it than wash it.

No appointment yet...

but Rosa is MOBILE! She crawls everywhere and is wanting to pull up so bad. I think she can't stand being left behind by the big girls! Here she is trying to pull up on a step between the living room and kitchen. There's no stopping her now!

More News!

We have an appointment on Monday morning (tomorrow) to get Rosa's passport, then to her 2nd DNA test and her embassy doctor appointment. We will be going to the city this afternoon and staying in a hotel tonight so we can make it to our appointments on time. After this, all we wait for is our embassy appointment and she is done! I keep telling Bill that I am going to send Rosa home with him when she is done...
He's not sure about that one, but I think it's a great idea!!! : )

UPDATE!!!No news for Rosa

We haven't gotten any updates on Rosa's birth certificate so we are still waiting. Hopefully we will get it soon. Rosa is now in full speed crawling and we bought her a walker yesterday. She likes being up off the floor and can get around great in it. She is getting so big. I know it won't be long before she is up walking.

UPDATE!!!I had just posted this and then got a message from our facilitator that they have received her birth certificate and now we have to wait for our 2nd DNA test. Hopefully that will be soon! Thanks for the prayers!

Life as a mommy

Rosa is such a good baby. She is so happy when she wakes up in the morning or after her naps. She has started eating baby food and cereal, she loves it. She does this little sucking thing all through thte night, it is so cute! She is almost able to sit up by herself and is ready to crawl. We are all going to be in trouble when she starts! Here are a few pics...

Play time is so much fun!

Riding along in my automobile...

Life is so tiring!

Tomorrow is the big day!

We had a little confusion about our house last night, but we got everything worked out, and it's even a bit cheaper. We have had some computer issues the last few days and unfortunately I won't be ably to take my laptop with me. We are hoping that if someone is going to Guatemala sometime soon, they can bring it to me, otherwise, Bill will bring it when he comes for Rosa's embassy appt. in 5 or 6 weeks. But I think my roomies will let me borrow their computers from time to time to update everyone.
In 24 hours I will be with my daughters forever!
