Lily's first boat ride (she loved it!)In the 2.5 weeks since Lily left the hospital she has made incredible progress. Although she has had to endure numerous doctor checkups and medical tests, her time at home has been full of joy and growth. It's hard for us to imagine the quiet shy little infant who was put in our arms a mere 7 weeks ago.
Lily is hurdling toward toddlerhood at the speed of light. She's always in motion, catching up on all the play she missed while in the orphanage. She delights in imitating others, and in constantly showing off her new "tricks". She always seems to have her beautiful smile ready to flash at the slightest provocation.
Nana Barbara left for home this week, and Lily misses her. We miss her too. She was such an incredible help for us and Lily had so much fun spending time with her.
This week Lily begins some physical therapy to help her learn that she can walk. Pretty soon she'll be running us ragged!
