I can`t believe it has been 5 months since I officially became Jaida`s Mom and got to hold my little girl. She is such a blessing and there isn`t a day that doesn`t go by that I don`t look at her in disbelief that she is ours. The wait was very hard but everything happens for a reason and when I hold my beautiful daughter I know the reason. She was the one I was waiting for.

| Jaida loving her bottle (or bottles I guess) |
Jaida has grown in so many ways the past five months. I have had my moments of concern and have not shared them as I wanted this blog to be positive and certainly did not want it to come across as complaining or unhappy. I touch on it a bit on my last entry and since then we have had the best week with her. Maybe you just have to say things outloud for them to improve/change. I am not sure what the change was (maybe she finally doesn`t have a cold or teething is hurting less or she finally feels safe and no longer scared) but it has been so much fun to have her happy and laughing all the time. She has made a lot less of the fussy noises and has communicated in different ways. She has laughed lots and it took a lot less effort than before. Jaida is now getting up around 6am which is a little early but has slept through most nights (so I will happily take early mornings). We had a few outing including aquafit, zoo and shopping and she did really well. Jaida has also discovered the love of chocolate and Easter treats. She is able to take the wrapper off the eggs and eat the chocolate egg before being noticed. Tonight she got off the couch and was quietly playing beside it-what I thought was playing, she found and was eating one of Hayden`s marshmallow Peeps. The saying is definitely true with Jaida that if she is quiet I better go look for her because she is up to trouble.
