More Family Day

Thanks, everyone for your comments. We finally were able to sit down together while Adelyn was napping. She is so amazing. Don and I are dumbfounded that her report said that she was a very shy and timid girl. That's the last thing she is!! She is just a little ham...and lets you know when she is hungry and a bit of a whiner at that. For breakfast today, she ate steamed eggs, congee, and tiny bits of toast. Then for lunch she ate 1 jar of Heinz "mixed vegetable paste" and 1 jar of chicken paste" then ate 1/2 cup Cheerios then 1 jar of Heinz "apple carrot juice." For dinner, we will try to incorporate more solid foods. She has lots of teeth. She eats really fast and leans toward us for each bite. It's a little sad to watch her eat. It's as though she fears the food will disappear before she is full. When she is finished, she knows to wipe her face and hands, then hands us the napkin. It's soooo cute.

We went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and Notary today for Adelyn's "Agreement of Adoption." We were interviewed and asked questions about why we chose to adopt from China. They also asked if we were happy with the child we received. This appt. finalized the past 24hrs with Adelyn. They call this "The Agreement of Entrusting Guardianship in The Harmonious Period."

After finishing, we travelled with all the babes to "Carrefour" or aka chinese walmart. This provided all the families an opportunity to stock up on things like baby food, diapers, juice, shoes, luggage etc... We were quite the minority but taken very well. We were given many nods and smiles from the locals. Now, here we are, a little exhausted... but so blessed!
