Can't believe today makes two years since Mia came into our lives.

What a journey......

February 15th marked the two year anniversary of the day we were handed the most amazing little girl we could have dreamed of, also known as "Gotcha Day" in the adoption world.

It is so hard to believe that two years have passed to the day, since Mia was place in our arms. She has changed so much, heck, Scot and I have changed so much....I can't imagine our life without her now...You know, when you go into this parenthood thing (again), you go in with all kinds of expectations of what kind of parent you are going to be. I was no exception to this rule, but I realized it doesn't matter what parent you thought you would be, as long as you are the parent she needs you to be. Some days I get it right, some days I get it wrong, but I hope I am growing in that aspect every day. I love how being Mia's mom, makes me WANT to grow, to change and be a better mom, a better person. Amazing how one tiny human can make such a difference, and here I thought that I was going to be the one helping HER to grow, lol.

Here are some pictures of Mia, as she was then and as she is now....a miracle!

Holding Mia for the first time, Feb. 15th 2009...

 

This was the only video we have while in China, the first few minutes with her back in our room after getting her. So, wish we had more video of her then. I just veiwed this video for the first time a few months ago, I could never get it to play until now.
