6 Months
We've had Emmy now for six months. Time sure flies. We had our six month follow-up with our social worker. It went very well. Emmy didn't throw a tantrum, hit me, or say a curse word she may have overheard. She made Dave and I look good and we thank her for that.
Our social worker asked us to describe Emmy's personality. We told her about Emmy's tenacious resolve to figure things out, her persistence in getting what she wants, her sense of humor, her multitasking habits, and her happiness.
She felt like Emmy was developing well and encouraged us to continue focusing on her speech which is a little behind her motor skills. She suggested that we spend time on animal sounds. I've been saying, "How does a cow go?" and Emmy says "Booo". I remember a time when I sat in business meetings, traveled, went to see new movies on opening night; but for now I am too busy enjoying "Booo" to care about those other things.

As we have been saying she is Beautiful and Perfect in every way. We (Nancy,Teri,Ralph and I)have said for 6 months she is always happy and good to go with anything and you guy are living a dream if you think otherwise. Why would you guy thing things the 6 month follow up would go any different, you all are great parents and have GREAT FRIENDS who are WONDERFUL ROLE MODELS. Especially Ralkp and I. We look forward to the geriatric play group on friday night and all three of your smiling faces. See you all then.
Love Joe and Nancy
If you think these first six month went by fast...wait until you go, wow she's 21 now. It really flies. Enjoy the moments, create the memories, that's the best part about it. It's a great trip, enjoy it, live it, cherish it. It will be the toughest job you'll ever love! I can see now, you all have started developing your rhythm and are comfortable where you're at. It just takes a little while to get to know your new baby, who by the way, is the cutest ever. Six months down.....many years to go.
Love ya, Teri and Ralph
PS....I love the crown of flowers, very appropriate for a princess.
Do you remember how excited & worried you were 6 months before going to China? Now I'm sure it feels like Emmy has always been there. Time flies when you are having fun. Keep the pictures coming - I really enjoy seeing them.
