3 years ago, we saw this perfect little face (with the sticky up hair!) for the first time.
We couldn't love her more.
You'll notice from the smaller photos below that she's laughing, that's because she thinks her sticky up hair is pretty hilarious! But then again, she thinks just about everything is pretty hilarious at the moment. She continiously makes me laugh and grin. Here's an example of her witty little personality: This morning when I asked her what dress she wanted to wear, she pulled one out of the wardrobe (actually, it's the one she's wearing in these pictures!) and said "Well, this one would be nice, but not really my colour!" - and then she fell into fits of laughing.
Thank you Lord for this beautiful child. The love I have for her constantly reminds me of the love You've shown, and continue to show toward me, Your child.

ReplyDeleteHappy Referral Anniversary! Such joy Lilah has brought to your family; you are blessed.
ReplyDeleteThat story about choosing her dress for the day is hilarious! Your photos wonderfully capture your poignant memory of her referral but also her joy in being part of your family. I love these!
Awww, you got your referral as a birthday present? How awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove Lilah's dress AND her sticky up hair. My goodness she was (and still is) such a little cutie.
Well, tell Lilah that that dress IS her color!! SO gorgeous - then & now. She was such a tiny peanut! Our referral didnt come until the end of July, even though we traveled at the same time....I LOVE that Lilah's referral came for your birthday!!

Hi, My name is Amy, I am in total shock as I just found your blog. My husband and I are in the process of adopting and we have chosen the name Lilah Grace as well. How neat is that. I live in Alabama and the name Lilah is some what unusual. So good to see another Lilah Grace from China.
