UPDATE DAY!! WOOOOOHOOOO!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! We just got our quarterly update from Holt and WOW! Another tear jerking moment opening up the pictures and there she is holding our picture! We see that she has some of the items we sent her like the Animals book and some of the clothes (the jeans and a few of the onesies)! She has grown 2" and gained just about 2 pounds since early May. She is also almost walking on her own. Things she is able to do? CRAWL OUT OF HER CRIB! She listens intently to conversations around her. She starts to understand the meaning of “Khong” and “dung” (means: “no” and “stop”). She says “khong ma” to refuse to do something when requested. We also see she likes bright colored toys and enjoys her bath time. Also see that she is sleeping soundly at night and goes to bed easily (we shall see about that). At the end of the update is is nice to see "formally assigned to the Belz in Jun. 2008". So enjoy all the photos! A GREAT start to our weekend! WE LOVE YOU SOPHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
