HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. This year is the Year of the Ox. Miss Morgan took all her little friends at daycare a red envelope with 2 plastic gold coins and a firecracker filled with candy. For dinner we went to Rita's for chinese food, of course. Morgan wore one of the outfits that I brought back from China. She was just so adorable. Morgan received a beautiful New year card that I bought from chinasprout with $5 in it. She was very excited.

Gotcha Day! 1 Year Later

Wednesday is our Gotcha Day anniversary. It's so hard to believe that one year has passed. Sometimes, it's still hard to believe that Morgan is actually here. I still remember first holding Morgan as she is screaming and crying and so upset. She was the only baby there that was so upset. Her hair was soaked from all the crying and sweating. Poor baby. That day was the hardest day of my life, I think. I have never felt so helpless. 24 hours later, she was like a completely different child. Just amazing. I look back and am just amazed at how far Morgan has come. She wasn't even crawling much when I got her and now she is running around the yard. She's such a happy baby. She is definitely my pride and joy. I can't imagine life without her now.

We are going to celebrate by going out to dinner. From all the things I brought back from China for little miss Morgan, she is going to get a panda nesting doll and a little jade bracelet.
