Cardiologist specialist appointment went well in January and we got the "all clear" that they won't need to see her again until between Age 4 and 5.. YEAH! We are so happy that she is doing well... healthy and happy...
She randomly said "happy" the other day... I said are you happy and she said "da"... (yes)... she still says DA for yes... we are working on changing that now.... it really is one of the few Russian words that she still says.
We are so happy with our little one. We couldn't have asked for things to be any better. She fits us like it was all meant to be. God had a plan.... everyone who was praying for us knew this... even when things were taking too long... it was all part of GOD's grand plan for the LEWIS FAMILY.
I am so thankful for our family and friends who have welcomed her into their lives with open arms and she is such a special little girl. She loves everyone... doesn't know a stranger... she gives hugs and kisses... is very loving... I don't believe we had any real attachment issues (which was a worry of ours after reading all the books on toddler adoption and attachment disorders)... she is so giving and loving! She is a joy - the best thing we ever did. I could not imagine our lives now without her. She smiles all the time and seems very happy.
Her birthday is 4/10/09... so it won't be long until we get to have a birthday party! I am so looking forward to it!
Here are a couple photos I took on Valentine's Day - Our first valentine's day as a MOM and DAD and Olesya's first valentine's day as part of a family.
would you just look at that smile!
the happiest family in the world - THE LEWIS FAMILY
