SIX MONTHS WITH CIARA!
On a completely more serious and life-changing note, our precious little Ciara has been with our family now for six months!! Six months??!! We certainly can't believe it, and I've heard it said many times, but it is true...it is like she's always been here.
Ten facts about Ciara, or CiCi as Logan and Leyna like to call her, that everyone should know:
Fact No. 1: The girl loves to shop, and her favorite things to buy are still SHOES!!And there are so many other facts I could tell you about this lovable, snuggly, beautiful, wonderful, precious gift to our family that we all just love, love, love, but seriously I just don't have that much time!
Below are a few pictures over the last six months with Ciara. She's gotten a little taller and her hair is a smidge thicker.
