Here she is......finally! We love her so much already!!
She's about 15 months in these pictures. And 10 kilos (about 25 lbs - oh my). She seems extremely healthy and, check it out, she has hair, yep...real hair. They say she smiles all the time and sleeps well. (Hear that sound? That's me - laughing with glee.) And wait until I get my hands on her and get her in a little dress.
I'll post more details later - I just want to share this right now.
BTW - when Dahlia saw her picture - her response - "cool". Yeah, Dahlia's getting a cool little sister.
We're so happy - we're off to celebrate - just wanted to fire this off first.

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

Oh my, she is totally adorable. Very cool. The first thing I thought was, 'look at her hair' too. Yipeee, a sleeper. Oh, you got to just LOVE a referral that says that. And happy all the time too. What a blessing. Oh, will they just hurry up and let you go get her already! Can't wait to hear news about when you think you might be going.

Congratulations. Milana is beautiful! I checked in on your blog early Friday evening from my Blackberry so I caught a glimpse of her but I couldn't comment as we were at the cottage so her I am. She is an angel!
Oh my just look at that precious little face. And don't you just want to smooch on those baby cheeks!!!!! She is beautiful Wanda and I am so happy for you!!! 25#??? Maybe the weighed her with all the layers on?? You might actually get to experience chubby baby legs - they are irresistible :)
