10 months old, One month home

IMG_0803
The kids will tell you that today is very important. Hannah is 10 months old. Yesterday she was 9 months old but today 10 months. Like a big time birthday. They don't realize it will come again in about 30 days too. Oh well, we are always up for celebrating! Celebrating is what we do everyday with our sweet Hannah. She is such a sweet addition to our family and everyone LOVES her so much. Each day she shows us more and more of who "Hannah Joy Giddens" truly is. Full of joy, she is melting our hearts.

It has been quite a productive month as well. One morning last week she decided to start clapping and babbling. She is so proud and has not stopped since. She is beginning to pull up on her own, though Nate always runs to her rescue before she quite gets there. Loves his baby sister! Her understanding of the English language is improving...she totally gets "no" now. She can pant like a puppy dog. She has developed an opinion about food that did not exist before...peas are a negative. (Don't blame her.) She can remain in a push up position longer than any of us. And she had her first doctors visit here with our peditrician as well as the international adoption pediatric physician here in Louisville. Both believe her to be very healthy and thrilled at how well she is doing and expect her to do. So, so much to celebrate! He has done great things for us! We are filled with joy!
