Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice - Fantu!

While still waiting at KM for adoption to be finalized.

After taking a break last week from re-introductions to our family I'm back this week with Fantu.
Fantu will be 11 (but in reality I think 12) on Jan 15th. She is sweet, loving, tough, talented and very funny! She is 110% a girlie girl! She loves pink! She loves perfume and nail polish, and can't wait to wear make-up. But - she hates dresses! OHHhhhhh that makes me sad :( I love them! I want to buy them for her! But they will just sit in her closet. So instead we buy jeans and funky t-shirts, pink petticoats and leggings.
Fantu loves to watch Disney channel - I think she dreams of being the next Hannah Montana - how cute would that be, Hannah Montana with a Ethiopian accent and singing Amharic songs. She loves to sing and she sings like an angel. She also loves to dance and her and Abate often get up and try to copy the dances while they watch So You Think You Can Dance. The results are usually quite funny.
Fantu loves to eat! She loves to eat ICE CREAM!!! She also loves spaghetti - well pasta of almost any kind. She loves stuffing. She loves Mexican food. She will eat 3 big meals a day and snacks in between. She is growing at a incredible rate, just look at the pictures and see how much she has changed over the past 6 months.
Fantu loves Ethiopia. She is proud to be Ethiopian. She misses it. But she loves her new family, her school, her home and we love her!
