Siblings at Play!


Siblings at play!



This next series of photos of Gabriella and Amaris started with smiles (BEFORE the camera)... 
but, when I asked the girls to switch cell phones so that they had their OWN princess phone... 
Gabriella was not happy with me.

We had to re-purchase the phones earlier today because Amaris' phone was lost in China.
Baba let Amaris carry Gabriella's phone into her orphanage... but, after the first kid put her mouth 
on the phone, he kindly gave Amaris' favorite toy to the orphanage. 

Now the girls all have new phones (and back-up phones) if these ever get lost. 
Gia, Annabella and Mia all have their phones and back-up phones as well.  












The smiles came back out when we stopped playing and had dinner. 
It has been fun watching Amaris... she came into our arms 3 Monday's ago. 

She could not drink from a cup nor could she eat... ANYTHING. By day 5, she was a professional eater... 
Today she was able to drink from this cup without a lid. 

The girls are quickly becoming best friends. 


Amaris is repeating everything I say... it is adorable. 
But, my favorite thing to do is ask her a question... it doesn't matter what it is... she will always nod "Yes!"

My favorite question to ask her right now is: "Amaris, are you my little monkey?" She smiles and nods "Yes!"
Then, she runs into my arms and gives me the biggest kisses... over and over and over. 

Tonight Baba caught her actually jumping from one of the media chairs onto the floor... 
There is no stopping this little one. She is a little athlete and charmer.
