Sorry for the silence and inactivity the past 8 months or so. Have been busy being a mommy to Lucy :-) The past 8 months seem to have flown by so quickly, and yet so much has happened in those 8 months. Lucy's baptism, Lucy's 1st bday party, her 1st Xmas with our families, building our new home. There have been the challenging moments too - Lucy's first bad bout with fever when she got roseola (a kind of measles), her 1st hospital confinement when she had croup cough. Lucy has gained something like 5 lbs and grown 10 cm since we got her. Amazing! She's got 10 more teeth since 8 months ago, now walks and runs, and says 10 or so words already. All in all, it's been a wonderful ride, and we can't wait for what else parenthood has in store for us.
Last weekend, we finally got our Consent for Adoption document from DSWD. You get this after the child has been with you for at least 6 months. So now we start the legal process of making her our child and changing her name to ours. We will be filing our Petition for Adoption in court in the coming month. We hope the legal process is a smooth one so we're done sooner than later. Will keep you posted. Meantime, here's a more recent picture of Lucy I'd like to share with you.
