So as promised I received Samara's growth in the mail.
Samara has gained 3lbs 5oz since we came home 6 months ago...whoo hooo!!
She is now 30.9" tall and her head has grown 1.5 cm.
Her development is charting like this now:
Personal Social: 22 months
Fine Motor: 18 months (I honestly think this should be higher but I'm not the Dr.) :)
Language: 21 months
Gross Motor: 22 months
More updates and pic's coming soon
