Long-Awaited Cuteness

We waited for our daughter's referral for over two years. And during that time, I tried very hard not to "nest". I avoided the girls' department like the plague, because cute girl clothes just made me want to cry.

But when we received a file and pictures for Su Xu Na, I suddenly had a date of birth and measurements. I had a face that I could picture as I shopped. I think I waited less than 48 hours before going to my nearest Kohl's and going a little crazy.

Among my purchases was this adorable pink dress with white daisies all over it. I was so excited to see her wearing it. We brought her home in the fall of 2008, but I had high hopes of her wearing it the next summer. But she wouldn't try it on. Not even once. Until this year.

She's only let me put it on her once (she far prefers her Spiderman T-shirt), but it was totally worth it. Complete cuteness overload.
