The month of August has gone by so quickly I do not know where to begin. We have had so much fun with Stefanie and she continues to amaze us. Stefanie now says the word "uh oh", up, and continues to point at everything. She is just now starting to really get into playing with stuffed animals and baby dolls. Stefie continues to say good night to all of her "things", bears, dolls, bear plaque above her crib, Jesus (her cross in her room) and loves to say Amen as she puts her hands together right before we go to bed. Stefanie has a rabbit named Hope and when you press Hope's stomach it says a prayer.
Stefanie loves her little finger puppets and a few times has tried to go at Tigger and Charlie's dry cat food. One day Stefie was too quick for me and ended up with a piece of dry cat food in her mouth as she did not want to let Charlie eat alone. Stefie was not too happy when Mommy insisted on prying her mouth open to pull it out. Stefanie was not hungry as I had just finished feeding her breakfast. Another day Stefie decided to splash her hands in the cat water, and then there was the day she covered Charlie with dry cat food. Life is definitely not uneventful and Stefie keeps us on our toes.
This month Stefanie took her first steps and we are absolutely thrilled. She is still not walking just yet but practices sitting down and standing up on her own all the time. Stefanie had a chance to spend the week with her Aunt Theresa (my sister) who came for a visit. Theresa loved being with Stefanie and she made Stefie laugh harder than I have ever seen her laugh before.
We had a chance to attend our Adoption Agencies first Family Picnic and had a wonderful time. Stefanie absolutely loved being around all the other children. It is incredible to think Stefanie has only been home less than three months and it seems as if she has always been here with us.
