Gotcha for six months

六个月前的今天，我们在浙江民政部第一次见到了安娜。我还清楚的记得那天一大早三点我就醒了，当然也有时差的关系，既兴奋又紧张。见到安娜并把她抱在怀里的时刻，永远在我心中成了定格。 第一眼见到她就是爱的喜悦，爱的泪水。

这六个月，小家伙变化好大。刚开始时，在出门之前，她都会把玩具藏在沙发缝里。 她饭量惊人，而且什么都爱吃，吃得都吃不下了，最后一口饭就含在嘴里，可以含一两个小时。记得有一天，我们一起吃晚饭，她突然看着我们说“我撑着了！”，然后就一口把喝的牛奶都吐了出来。 那时她也很任性，如果不满足她的要求， 她会大叫，偶尔还会咬人，爸爸和姐姐都被她咬过。 今天，还是这个小丫头，她不再在乎玩具了，谁玩都行，她也不像以前那么热衷于食品了，现在吃东西有选择性了。每次吃的差不多时，就会指着自己的肚子说“我吃饱了”。 现在时不时还会发脾气，但是只要跟她讲清道理，一会儿就好了。这小家伙嘴甜，认错快，而且总是高高兴兴的。能得到这么个宝贝女儿真是我们的福气。
Six months ago today on March 23, we met Anna at the Zhejiang Civil Affairs Office. I was nervous and excited that morning that I woke up at 3’oclock. Everything became history when we met her and held her in our arms. It was love and joy at first sight.

Six months later, this same little girl has come a long way. At the beginning, she would hide all her toys in the cracks when she left the hotel or the house, she would eat anything and eat so much, and stuff the last bite in her mouth and kept it there for a long time. One day, when we were having dinner and all in a sudden, she stared at us and said:” I am too stuffed” and then she vomited all the milk she drank. She would scream if she didn’t get her way of doing things and occasionally she would hit or bite. Today, this same little girl doesn’t care much about the toys, anyone can play with them. She is no longer addicted to food, actually she is getting pickier about food, and she will point to her tummy and tell us that she is full. She still occasionally throws tantrums, but only for very short moments. Despite all these things, she is such a happy and sweet girl. She is just perfect for our family!
