I think she is getting a temper though, because when she gets mad she is very hard to get calmed down. I guess I must spoil her to bad, when she gets up I make me a cup of hot stuff to drink & then I make her a bottle. All day long if I make me something I make her something also. So I guess you could say that I never let her cry because she always has what she wants. She is a very good baby, as long as she gets what she wants. You think with all of us that she would be OK with anyone holding her, well she is as long as you don't walk out of the site of one of us. She knows who is her family & she looks for them all the time.
This last week we had to get her a babysitter,( the best in the world & a very good friend) Destiny gave her a run for her money, she has 6 boys so she rocks with all kids. She means the world to me, so for her to take on Destiny meant so much to us. Well Destiny gave her a good long run she would not stop crying for very long before she was crying again. So my friend knew that sometimes she likes to go for a ride & after a while she calmed down. Like I said she is getting a temper. She is very hard to get calmed down when she gets mad. Will my friend should not get upset because she did the same thing to me later that week. She got out of my sight & got mad well by the time I got her back she was to mad to get calmed down. We took her home with her crying all the way then she cryied a little longer tell she would finally look at me then calm down. When she is mad she is very mad.
So this Sat. I have to work again, so I am asking you to pray for all of them as they try again to keep her. If I was them I don't know if I could do it she is a handful when she wants to be. I hope they know how much I love them. I guess Destiny is trying to find out who my real friends are by testing them. If she would just ask me I would tell her so she would not have to go to all the trouble of being bad.
Will would you like to see how she is doing now?
She is holding her own bottle of juice. The only thing is she thinks she has to talk to it also, she has very long talks with her juice. Maybe she thinks it will come out faster that way, no not going to happen. If you don't know I have a different nipple on her juice bottles, it makes her have to suck on them harder to get what she wants. I think it is working to help her learn to suck on things better.
Yes she is learning how to sit up, she is doing very good so far.
But as you can see she still needs some work as daddy is getting ready to catch her if she falls.
So you could say that she is getting bigger, & just loving up everything that she can get her hands on. We thank God daily for letting us be her family, & all our other kids that we have loved so long & look forward to watching get older everyday as they grow more & more.
On to Jessica she is in Costa Rica right now & we miss her very much. I guess you could say that I am jealous of her. As far as I know she is in a very pretty place working very hard with school. I used to call her alot but now I can't call her at all. So I miss her voice very much. I wish that she could put photos up on her blog. so we could see some of the places that she goes. It sounds so nice & I just want to see her face again, if I can't hear her voice. I MISS HER & I love her very much. If you are reading this know that I am thinking about you.
For all the people that are waiting to go back & pick-up there babys know that you are in my prays. The time is getting very close for you now you can make it. For the others that are waiting to go back you are still in my prays & will be tell they all come home.
Love Ya All!

Oh Michelle, she is getting so big, I can't believe she is almost sitting up all on her own! She is so adorable...I am glad she is doing well. Milana had these screaming tantrums too, mainly I think due to separation anxiety, and it sounds like the same with Destiny...Milana seems to be over it for now, it only lasted like 2 months... :)
Awww...I can´t believe how big she is getting! I sure do miss her and the rest of you guys. I talk about her all the time so I´m getting good at talking about adoptions in Spanish. I still can´t believe she is sitting up. Well hopefully I will get time this week to put up pictures. I feel like I have been so busy. Also, I need to email you my phone number because my tica mom said that you could call her house number and it doesn´t cost them anything. So you would just have to buy a calling card. I love you and miss you!
Michele, you know how much I love all of your family expecialy that pretty baby. I would be happy to keep her any time for you, even if she cries a little, she will get comfortable with me soon. They all have to find their place in this world. Love You and ready any time for a play date. God Bless You, Melanie
Hi Michele!
I spent a bit of time today reading your blog. SOOOO encouraging. Destiny is beautiful and appears to be a great blessing to your family. Thanks for the updates. For those of us waiting......it is a reminder of the joy that is to come.
All joy and peace to you
Always a delight to see your darling Destiny--she's growing so fast!
She looks WONDERFUL and so happy!!! I know you are excited beyond measure to be home and settling in. We are getting so close now. I'm so excited. Post more pictures soon. I LOVE seeing her at home!!
I am so glad that you brought a new child to the United States. One more now has the advantage over others. When am I going to get my baby back Michelle? :) I love her.
