More milestones....It has now been lucky 13 weeks together = 3 months and she is now 14 months old! Time is flying by.....With the anniversary of Sept 11 we are reminded how precious time is with the ones we love as life can be so fleeting....many times I often remember our time before Jailyn and how different our lives are now...... So much more love our little girl has brought into our lives and how wonderful to see her life expand and her little light shine bright with so much newness and excitement in her eyes. She is so happy and just precious and getting ready to take off walking on her own (she takes three steps and gives in) and jibber jabbering all the time. It is so darling to hear her in the morning or after nap time playing and talking and having so much fun in her crib. We have overcome night time with little crying now for a couple of weeks and she can play in her crib and soothe herself and be okay. Woohoo! Some nights we still have challenges however not on a daily basis.
Well I am back to work on a part time basis....I had a much harder time than Jailyn. Last Tuesday before Colleen came over and when I was rocking her to sleep I starting crying and could not stop. I could not believe the tears and a mother's love I have for my baby girl. I enjoy working however just did not want my baby to suffer in any way and cause anymore pain of feeling abandoned. Jailyn did great and I was just emotionally exhausted and felt so out of sorts getting back into the saddle. It was nice to be back with my consultants and re-connecting with customers. However I am taking it slow and will not get back in the swing of things 100% until October. Jailyn needs her mom and dad and I am thankful Mike has stayed close to home this past Tuesday and will tomorrow. It was a busy short week and we attended the Families with Children from China Autumn Moon festival and spent it with Jeremy, Lynelle and Alyssa. It was fun and we look forward to many more memories with them. I am so glad we found eachother and have our lives to share in raising our daughters. See the pictures from the festival and Jailyn holding her lantern Mom made for her in to carry during the parade at the event.
We went to Children's Hospital today and her hearing checked out to be perfect so there is no concern the perforated eardrum caused any hearing loss. She did well with the audiologist and did not like it at first but they played with her and made it fun and of course the mum mum treat was the reward. Tonight we did our 3 month visit with the social worker for post placement reports for China. Only two more times to meet and we are finished with all the adoption requirements. We have another post placement in Jan and June! I think we need to have a celebration next summer. I have such an intolerance for paperwork now and very little patience after using it all up on the wait for Jailyn....
Enjoy the photos from the Autumn Moon Festival.
