Well, this past Sunday marked our 2 month anniversary of Gotcha Day!
It's crazy, part of me can't believe it's already been 2 months and part of me can't believe it's only been 2 months!
Every moment we are with our sweet girl adds days to our love for her. It is something I could have never dreamed and never imagined. God has blessed us more than we could ever deserve or repay to Him, and we are eternally grateful for all the He has done in/for us.
We have begun to see a little more grieving from our precious girl. It breaks this mama's heart to watch her just weep and weep for no apparent reason. Sometimes she'll let me hold and comfort her and sometimes she won't let me get anywhere near her. Sometimes she wakes at night just weeping in her sleep. These days don't come often, maybe once a week, so I'll not complain; just pray for her and us.
We are in the throws of "re" potty training! She was potty trained when she came to us, but that was the least of our priorities at that time and she expectedly regressed. Pray for us as we venture into this territory again as well!
Her vocabulary grows hourly it seems. She is soaking up all we are saying and repeats (or at least tries to) all of it. Her pediatrician was shocked at her vocabulary just a week after we were home, and since then it has grown leaps and bounds. Full sentences mostly, and she gets extremely upset or frustrated when we don't understand her. We have to repeat to her what she is saying to us to verify we understand her correctly and if we are wrong she lets us know!
It is also amazing to us how much she understands, even if it's something she can't verbally communicate yet, she completely understands about 95% of our direction, conversation, explanation, etc. It is mind boggling to us. Many of our friends comment often about these things as well.
We truly have been so blessed. People say all the time what a blessing we are to Jadyn Grace when in reality she REALLY has been the blessing to us. Teaching us about grace and love and redemption. It truly is a picture of God's love for us as we chose Him, after He chose us, to be adopted into His family. We did nothing but run to Him and He opened His arms wide and welcomed us in.
We are so thankful for all of the prayers through this journey! We truly believe that others interceding for us in prayer is a huge part of why we are where we are today! Thank you doesn't begin to express our gratitude.
I will leave you with some pics from the last month...
