FIRE !

Yes, We had our first fire of the season...and we all Loved it!
I think Madison enjoyed it as well, thank goodness because we love to
all sit out by the fire and hang out.

Madison still sleeps in our room, on the floor:) She refuses to sleep on a mattress. I guess this is because in China she only slept on a thin piece of wood, so the floor is more of what she is used too.
She still moves around a lot at night, she is never in the same spot when we wake up in the morning. Our social worker says this has to do with attachment issues & in about 6 months we will have a different child. When David & I get up in the middle of the night we always have to look on the floor before we step because we never know where she will be:)

We've made her little pallets really fluffy & soft for her to sleep on since she wont sleep on a mattress & she just moves all the cover out of the way before she lays down:( So we have given up & realize that this is the only way she will sleep soundly through the night.

Madison continues to add new English words to her vocabulary each day. Yesterday she added BACON to her vocabulary ....Yep, she's definitely a Whitten!I am continually amazed at how quickly she is learning & adjusting to her new environment.
