That dress is so pretty, and it looks like it'll fit her for a while, as it's kinda big around the torso right now! What a pretty and smart girl she is, and of course, we love the pictures with Missy the best! K9Karen - yes, her mommy said she is bilingual, growing up learning both Vietnamese and English. And of course, learning "dog," too, from her canine siblings, so she's sure to be a genius and a Pet Talker when she's old enough! She's looking less and less like a baby and more like a girl every time, growing so fast! Momma, give her a hug kiss and tickle for me, okay?

Thank you to everyone for your kind words. Right now we're speaking 100% Vietnamese to her at home. Whenever my brother is at home (he's in school & comes home only on weekends), he speaks English to her, because I do not want her to learn my accents , so she's learning some English words, too (she can say "bear", "fish", "shark", "hi" and "bye bye"!) Plus, she'll have plenty of time learning English and speaking the language when she starts school, so we are in no rush at all

A little more than a year have past since I have her, but I still find myself looking at her and marveling about what a great blessing she is to our family & being flooded with emotions.
