One year old!












Hi everyone! Things continue to be crazy at the Manderfield home! We celebrated Raelen's 1st birthday last month, and Tuesday marked 8 months since we brought her home to Iowa. It has gone by incredibly fast. It feels like she's been with us forever:)


Raelen is just starting to walk, but is still pretty unsteady. She does better on carpet though. She eats really well, and although she hit a rough patch in terms of sleeping earlier this week, she's back to her usual 12 hour nights. This makes for a much more rested Mommy too!



I think she's up to 10 teeth, including her molars which just broke through. Seems like she's young for that, but it's hard to remember when the other 2 got theirs, since it was over 5 years ago! She's started saying a few words, Reese, Mommy, Daddy, puppy, Papa, and TRACTOR!!!



Our homestudy caseworker comes next week for our 9 month post adoption update. I'm sure she'll be surprised how big she's gotten...she's 13 months old and weighs almost 26 pounds! It's hard to believe she was just a little over 6 pounds when she was born.


Anyway, that's all for now!!!
