We already got an update on Malia today! Shes seems to be meeting all of her milestones! She is cutting 4 teeth right now which makes me sad that I am missing that. She is also creeping which means crawling in no time, this also makes me sad. I was excited to hear that she prefers her foster mother, Im so glad she has been able to bond and will have that instinct. I am heart broken that she will have to grieve her foster mother and family though, I know that will be so hard for her. I also feel heart sick for her foster mother and the pain she will have having to release this precious baby that she has taken care of pretty much from birth. I am very greatful to her!
She is rolling and grasping things and seems to be doing all the normal things a 7 month old should be! Ok so we nicknamed her chunky monkey and guess what she is!! She is a petite/chunky little thing weighing in at 17 lbs and only 23?? inches.
We are hoping to get updated photos of her soon, and also we are planning on sending a care package to her hopefully next week!
This being a mom and not having my baby is new and very hard. I want so badly just to fly over there and get her. I hope with all hope that things run smoothly and quickly so we can get her here before her first birthday which is October 6th.
We went and celebrated tonight with the Zims. We toasted to Malia, school getting out and them being homeless!! I have gotten teary with every sweet comment we have recieved through email and on our blog about our precious Malia. The support we are feeling is overwhelming. I just cant believe how loved this little girl is not only by us but by our friends and family and our blogger land family. Thank you all so very much!

Oh my goodness, Kris!!! I'm just reading your news tonight and I am thrilled beyond words for you. Malia is beautiful! Absolutely perfect.
(I hope you can get Tami to smock a dress for her! I always secretly hoped we would live near the "Z" family when we were matched with Selah so that I could get one of those form Tami!) (And, Tami, I am in no way shape or form laying a guilt trip- I simply wanted you to know that I remember your beautiful work!)
OK- I am just thrilled for you, Kris! I am praying that travel will be quick!!! -Erin L.
That is so exciting to have those updates. She is farther along than Ez! He isn't cutting any teeth and he is not creeping. Your little chunky monkey is healthy and on track! That is awesome. I am sorry you are missing these milestones, though. My heart aches for you for that BUT, just think of all of the rest of your lives together and all of the milestones you will have together. It is sad to think about her grieving the loss of her foster mom but she will learn to love you just as much as you already love her. It is such a BEAUTIFUL thing and your family is being so blessed. I am so very happy for you all!
How amazing that you get those updates though and are getting the chance to experience them in a different way. When she starts smiling at you- it will make everything perfect!!
