Kyah has turned 1 1/2 now and continues to be adjusting really well! She is a real momma's girl (which I totally admit that I love!) I have said from the day we brought her home that it feels like she's been with our family from the beginning and it still feels that way. She has many Klaasen characteristics such as loves coffee, Mexican food, books, playing games on people to make them laugh, enjoys being outside and her silly personality. Oh, she is just so much fun to have around and I enjoy my days with her immensely! How thankful I am to be a stay at home mom!!
Her vocabulary continues to amaze us. She can say over 50 words, although we may be the only ones to understand all of them. She absolutely loves her siblings and plays with them well. She's very orderly and insists and closing things or shutting things immediately after use. (My other kids could learn from her - ha!) She loves shoes and boots and tries wearing other peoples as often as possible. Although she still plays with tractors and trucks, I see her playing with her baby-dolls more often, much to Jordan's approval! She likes chunky puzzles and, with a bit of help, will put them together over and over.
We recently met with our church elders and are planning on getting her baptized and are working on details. I am very excited for that day! Todd & I were asked if we would share a bit about our adoption experience at that service. We are honored to and need to organize our thoughts. Please pray we will be effective in sharing to others the wonderful gift that adoption can be!
Thank you Trista, for your patience and beautiful photo's!!
