8 Months Old...

Today, Kaila made 8 months old and we are amazed at how fast time has gone by. It feels like just yesterday when I went through all that pain and alas, they placed her on me. Boy, how she has grown from being so tiny at 6 lbs. 4 1/2 oz. and so dependent on us, to now weighing about 18 lbs. with many tantrums, a ton of smiles, endless waves, and lots of laughter. It is pure joy to be around her, even when she does have her little moments of fury. Cisco and I always talk about how we are so blessed that God picked us to be her parents. On that note, here are a few pictures of her today, on her 8 month b-day...

Getting ready for her afternoon nap....

Pretending to be Sadie... She loves to play with Sadie's toys, but not her own...
She liked the avocados....

Hoping & praying for some droppings, even though she can't eat them.....
