One month & 4th birthday

Yesterday was Harli's 4th birthday and one month since she joined our family!  She is doing great.  She loved all the excitement of a birthday party, the presents, cake and ice cream.

When we first met Harli she didn't even know how to play with toys.  She had no clue what to do with a doll or play pots and pans.  Today she takes care of her babies and cooks a huge meal.  LOL        It's so amazing to see her transform into a child.  I know that sounds strange, but I'm guessing that my adoptive friends can relate to that.  We  could tell that she was expected to really take care of herself quite a bit or just had to entertain herself - looking at her hands, etc.  She is now getting to enjoy all of the new things in her world and just worry about having fun.
