One year ago today!

This time exactly one year ago
I was sitting in Whole Foods
Having lunch with Michael
Waiting to return to class
When my phone rang
It was a call about a placement
It completely took us by surprise
Considering we had not had a placement call in over a year
We said yes and ran home to get everything set up for her arrival

At 6 months she could not roll over
She could not sit up on her own
She was very tiny and seemed pretty out of it
She never smiled
The back of her head was completely bald
from spending so much time in her crib
Over all she seems really under developed

We had no idea how long she would be staying with us
At first it was one month
Then there was a set back with her going home
And one month turned into five
After five months things were up in the air again
And it seemed like she would be going back soon
But as time went on the plan changed over and over again
And here we are now one year later and she is still in our care

She has changed so much in the last year
Its hard to believe she the same little girl
She is so funny and outgoing
She has such a personality
I am so amazed by how much she has grown
And I am so grateful I was able to to see all of it!
