Happy Monday from this sweet girl! 🙂
I cannot believe this girl has been ours for three months. In some ways it feels like we’ve had her for years but in other ways we’re still learning so much about each other.
Britt has grown by leaps and bounds this month {Humble mom brag moment…haha!}. She’s begun taking steps. You should our family of six celebrate when she does this! We have her walk from person to person all the time. She’s definitely not walking on her own but she’s making such improvements.
I think I’ve mentioned before that she doesn’t like being on her tummy. Crawling is her enemy but this smart thing has mastered a way to “crawl” all while in the sitting position. I really should video this for you. Not really what we were trying to get her to do, but she’s figured a way to get herself around this place.
She can make the funniest faces {Please note her face above}. She will laugh at herself and then even cover her mouth like she really shouldn’t be laughing. She mimics EVERYTHING the big kids do…even the naughty things!
She’s now saying, “Uh-oh” and she’ll shake her head both “yes” and “no”. She’s understanding more and more of what we say.

I have no doubts about her knowing we are her people…she is home. She’s sleeping all night long now {only took her about two months to figure that out but it felt like years…haha!}. She’s hit or miss on the food situation. We have her big palate surgery coming up at the end of the month. Cleft mamas, please send me your helpful hints. I’ll take ANYTHING! Cup suggestions, food suggestions, just anything that worked for you please send me your recommendations!
She is teeny, tiny but has touched all five of our hearts in such BIG ways! We’re so very thankful she’s ours.
This faith journey has been simply incredible. When I see my big kids fight {yes, fight-keeping it real} over who gets to play with Britt, or when I see Britt’s face light up when Tab walks in the door after work, I’m reminded of how far we’ve come. Our God is a BIG God. He’s turned our family into a family of six that might look a little different from the outside but love each other so big on the inside.
