One month!

Wow, my little girl has been home for ONE whole month! I can't believe it, yet it feels like she's been home forever! While we had our rough times, we've had the times too where we watch our baby girl go from literally hating us to attaching beautifully. She definitely knows that we are her mom and dad, and she has started giving hugs and kisses to the kids as well. From day one, she has loved our dogs too :)

It took me some time to get back into the baby stage...bottles, two naps, pacifiers, crying, playing, etc. Now I feel like its coming together, and I definitely know how fast this stage goes by. Juliana is our last baby, and I realize today that I can't rush it, something I am famous for doing.

Juliana brings our family a sense of completion. A sense of togetherness, a bonding that is so tight within our family structure. It is so fun to watch Juliana learn something new everyday, and love us just a little bit deeper. I know that total attachment takes years, yet, I am thoroughly content with the attachment thus far.

We love you, Juliana, and thank God for you each day.
