But we haven’t had much spare time, as you can imagine. The quick update is our new nanny started last week and she’s wonderful! She reads to Mia and they dance and generally have a good time. Miss Mia has discovered her laugh and she laughs quite a bit. She seems to find it hilarious when I stick my tongue out at her. Go figure. She’s starting to really reach for things – mostly Jill’s hair – and her own hair has NOT stopped growing. At this rate, she’ll have a full mullet by the time she’s 6 months…


We went to the Open Adoption and Family Services picnic this weekend where we were supposed to meet Tonika and her family but things didn’t work out. Jill and I stayed for an hour and got to see our original counselor – Gillian. She didn’t even know we had Mia since she left before we were selected. The picture below is from the picnic and I think does a lovely job of showing off the jaunty smile, double chin and voluminous hair. Let’s just say that the first thing out of every persons’ mouth when they see her is:


“OH MY GOD! LOOK AT ALL THAT HAIR!” Enough said.
