One Wonderful Month...

It has been one month today since we met our amazing little girl and each day has been met with more love and incredible joy than we could have ever imagined! Jadyn has truly fit in with our family as if she was planned to be joining us from the time we made the decision to adopt 5 and 1/2 years ago. She has attached to Jerry, myself and the boys so well and really seems to know that we are a family.

Yesterday, Jadyn turned 10 months old and had her first spaghetti dinner - she really enjoyed it! We also made a trip to visit the ladies that I work with and she was in all her glory soaking up every bit of attention from them! She loves to turn on the charm:)

Today, she crawled a few paces for the first time; this is a day after she turned 10 months old. A few days ago she figured out how to get into a sitting position from laying down which has made her a very happy little girl. She is getting more mobile every day. Last night we tried to put her to bed in her crib, but that did not last too long. She was up within an hour and needed to be consoled. She really looks to make sure that one of us are with her at night and she also longs for our touch. I do not think the transition to the crib will come as easily as the carseat, bath and highchair did. We really just want to make sure that we maintain her trust in us and give her the time she needs for this adjustment. We may try to place her pack-n-play in our bedroom and see if that will work for her. I've been taking in all of the information from the RQ site regarding sleeping and she has been posting specifically on this topic the last two days...timing couldn't be better. Although, we really can't complain considering that Jadyn sleeps for 10-12 hours at night and naps for 1-2 hours during the day. All in all, not too bad...
