A thought stopped me in my tracks yesterday afternoon.
Vivi has been part of our family for six months now.
And I just can’t stand it.
I am so ridiculously smitten with this little girl.
In fact, we all are.
Her big sisters argue over who will get to carry her from the back door to the swingset.
Her big brothers race to see who will get to her first when she wakes in the morning.
Even Chris, on occasion, tries to “persuade” her out of my arms.
And he sometimes succeeds, as long as there is a piece of gum included in his offer.
Turns out being the baby in this family? Is a pretty sweet spot to be.
We love you so much, Vivienne. Happy six months… being our baby.
100% precious!
I love how much she is loved! Reminds me of our "baby"! Even the gum part! 😉
I want one of those! If we could just get this last bit of paperwork done!
Very sweet indeed!!! 🙂
I know better than to miss a day or two or more with your blog – but it's been crazy busy! Great updates – glad the 'hammer falling' has worked for you guys – as always love all the pics – and vivi – we love ya too!
hugs to all – aus and co.
You reminded me to see the 'chicken-baby' in somebody who has been bringing me to my knees in frustration lately. Thanks.
It is hard to believe that we were in China six months ago. We met a group of XuZhou children this past weekend in Atlanta and it was so fun to see how much the children had changed since their adoption. I think about you and Vivi (Asher too) and Wayne and his boys often. I hope our paths cross again one day….until then, congratulations on 6 months home!!
She's really cute! I really like the last picture.
She's simply precious! Congrats on her 6 months!
Oh my GOODNESS! This is so sweet I think I'm gonna have to stop at the dentist and get a cavity filled! Sweet baby Vivi looks so happy and at home.
Thank you so for sharing!
She makes me desperately want another baby girl!! 🙂

Oh I love this little spicy girl. She's soooo fun! Yes–you're so blessed–and she's pretty sweet–and in a pretty sweet spot! As a woman in China said to us, "she fell in a bucket of honey. She's going to have a really sweet life." Yes indeed!
Seriously too darn cute! Darling! Precious! Very clearly lovin' her life, too!
All the best,
Nicole A. in OH
Awww…..how sweet! Happy 6 months!
Six months already…doesn't seem possible! Vivi is surrounded by so much love. Everyone should be so cherished. But look at her…what's not to love. She's just precious! Happy 6 months together.
Wow six months sure did go by fast, it doesn't seem like you've had her for 6 months already!!
She's such a precious girl. You have such darling children Stefanie.
We are all smitten!
Man. she's cute.
Was that a subtle hint I detected at the end of the post–the question mark after baby?
She is sooooo cute!!! I think I would want to be the baby of your family too! ;0)

I am back… I thought of you today when I opened my mail. I can give you 112 reasons why you can be glad you don't have AC. As a single mother, I don't want to learn that lesson again. My bill doubled!!!! because I finally gave in and turned on the AC for two weeks. I guess its back to 80+ degrees in the house because I don't want those kind of bills again!!!
Sniff Sniff Sniff…
