Our first week together! :)


























We have had a great week..overall! :) LiLi has adjusted to big sisterhood pretty well..not jealous at all of sharing her parents..just her toys! SHe is a big help bringing me the wipes, diapers, etc.
Bella is doing great. She went to her pediatrician appointment on Tuesday. She is tiny..18 pounds 14 ounces and 31 1/2 inches tall. She has an appointment with the International Adoption Clinic on Thursday. SHe is sleeping 11-12 hours a night and takes an hour nap. SHe eats almost everything...but doesn't seem to like milk. Of course we have the language barrier but she is stubborn. If you take something away from her that she wants..she sits and just looks at you for about 10 minutes with her bottom lip pouting. Then she is fine. She has already started to say "open", "papa" and she calls me ma me a. She also gives plenty of kisses. My friend, Karen, will be here Wednesday through Sunday (can't wait)! Anna was here this past Wednesday through Saturday morning. Our church has been bringing us dinner Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays and will continue for the next 2 weeks until we go to Charleston. We will be there for the month of April.
Today we left the house at 0945. We went to church, out to lunch, and to the playground. We had a great day. Both kids were exhausted. We are so proud of LiLi..she is such a great big sister!
Here are the pictures!!

Love all the pictures. Sounds like things are going well. Have you tried her on soy milk? Funny that she is 'tiny' because in the pictures she looks big. I can't wait to meet her in person. A month in Charleston? I guess I'll have to wait to meet you guys.

Hi Diana,

Congratulations! She is beautiful! I am so glad everything worked out for you. When you come to Charleston in April I would love to meet you and the girls if you have time. Maddie and Bella are about the same age. Email me if you'd like to meet up.
