Daddy's Girl!

This morning we spent doing paperwork and interviews. We promised several times to never abandon Anna and to take good care of her. She did a great job hanging out in offices and in our car, mostly in the Baby Bjorn on Daddy's chest. Anna has decided she likes her Daddy and thinks he is very funny, even when he plays rough with her. A good thing because our house is pretty rough. The best laughs came from making her dance.


She is a sweet, chill baby except when she is mad. So far, today has been great. She has been eating and taking her bottle. Guess I better learn how to make congee, especially the kind with the 1000 year eggs, the nasty grey green eggs.


On a deep note, the orphanage brought us the clothes she was wearing when she was found, pictures of the building where she was found, and my journal of questions filled with answers. The most touching we read last night was how thankful they were that we were going to love her and give her a great family and life. They were really worried about her that she might not survive her condition and surgery. We think she is doing well and are hopeful that she won't need anymore surgery, but we will have to wait and see. So far, she's eating well and acting sweet. She is very curious and observant. We are so grateful to be her parents and grateful to the orphanage for giving her the ability to be loved. Nice giggles while dancing with Daddy.

Mommy can get smiles too! Love the tongue!
